    • Ensure that you have not manually enabled the Photon repository of the appliance.
      To verify for enabled repositories, open an SSH connection to the appliance, log in by using the
      root
       user credentials and run the following command:
      yum -v repolist all | grep enabled
      When no repository is active, the command returns no result and you can proceed with the upgrade.

      yum
       configuration files.
