How to Upgrade to EMC v8 without internet access?

Hi,
we are using virtual Management Center 7.1.2 connected to an internal network. For Update Checks we are using a webproxy which is configured in EMCs Settings.
Release Notes says that you need internet access during upgrade. I tried to update our test-EMC but it failed because of lack of internet. Obviously the webproxy-settings within EMC are not used during upgrade. I thought about editing webproxy-setting into Ubuntus etc-Files but I am not sure if this would cause problems during upgrade.

Whats the simpliest or most supported way to upgrade an EMC without direct internet access?

Hi,

is it possible to install the vm image of the 8.0.2.42 as new instance without internet access?
And then move the config from 7.1.2 ?

Regards Daniel

Thank you for the information. I will try that.

You can download the 8.0.2.42 OVA file and deploy it = the VM of 8.0.2.42 does not need the internet access.

EMC does need internet access if you use "subscription licensing" with permanent license you do not need internet access.

In such case I would create another test-system.
