+= Upgrading {Project} or {SmartProxy} to {EL-abbr} 9 in-place by using Leapp
+
+{Project} and {SmartProxy} are supported on both {EL} 8 and {EL} 9.
+You can upgrade your {Project} and {SmartProxy} operating system from {EL} 8 to {EL} 9. 
+Use the Leapp tool to upgrade as well as to help detect and resolve issues that could prevent you from upgrading successfully.
+
+.Prerequisites
+ifdef::satellite[]
+* Review Known Issues before you begin an upgrade.
+For more information, see {ReleaseNotesDocURL}ref_known-issues_assembly_introducing-red-hat-satellite[Known Issues in {ProjectName} {ProjectVersion}].
+endif::[]
+ifdef::foreman-el,foreman-deb,katello[]
+* Review upgrade warnings before you begin an upgrade.
+For more information, see {ReleaseNotesDocURL}[Release notes].
+endif::[]
+* {Project} {ProjectVersion} or {SmartProxy} {ProjectVersion} running on {EL} 8.
+ifndef::satellite[]
+* Access to available repositories or a local mirror of repositories.
+endif::[]
+ifeval::["{mode}" == "disconnected"]
+* You require access to {RHEL} and {Project} packages.
+Obtain the ISO files for {RHEL}{nbsp}9 and {Project}.
+For more information, see {InstallingServerDisconnectedDocURL}downloading-the-binary-dvd-images_satellite[Downloading the Binary DVD Images] procedure in _{InstallingServerDisconnectedDocTitle}_. 
+* Leapp completes part of the upgrade in a container that has no access to additional ISO mounts.
+The required repositories cannot be served from a locally mounted ISO but must be delivered over the network from a different machine.
+endif::[]
+
+.Procedure
+ifndef::satellite[]
+. Enable the https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/theforeman/leapp/[@theforeman/leapp COPR Repository], which contains Leapp packages with patches to support {Project} or {SmartProxy} upgrades:
++
+----
+# dnf copr enable @theforeman/leapp
+----
+Note that this is not required for {RHEL} installations.
+endif::[]
+. Install required packages:
+[options="nowrap", subs="+quotes,verbatim,attributes"]
++
+----
+# {project-package-install} leapp leapp-upgrade-el8toel9
+----
+ifdef::satellite[]
+ifeval::["{mode}" == "disconnected"]
+. Set up the following repositories to perform the upgrade in a disconnected environment:
+.. Add the following lines to `/etc/yum.repos.d/rhel9.repo`:
++
+[options="nowrap", subs="+quotes,verbatim,attributes"]
+----
+[BaseOS]
+name={RepoRHEL9BaseOS}

+name={RepoRHEL9ServerSatelliteMaintenanceProjectVersion}
+baseurl=http://_server.example.com_/sat6/Maintenance/

+endif::[]
+endif::[]
+ifndef::satellite[]
+. Install additional OS specific packages (`leapp-data-almalinux` for AlmaLinux, `leapp-data-centos` for CentOS Stream, or `leapp-data-rocky` for Rocky Linux).
+See `ID` in `/etc/os-release` for your operating system code.
++
+[options="nowrap", subs="+quotes,verbatim,attributes"]

+After the system reboots, a live system conducts the upgrade, reboots to fix SELinux labels and then reboots into the final {EL} 9 system.
