Hi,

Could anyone give some insight on what is the right upgrade(inplace) path - from RHEL8.2 to RHEL9.3.

Thanks

You won't be able to direclty upgrade from 8.2 to 9.3.  To use the leapp tool, you'll first have to update your RHEL8 system to current.  So your path looks more like:
8.2 -> 8.9 (using dnf update)
8.9 -> 9.3 (using leapp)

@r_upendar Thanks for reaching out !

Currently, it is possible to perform an in-place upgrade from the following source RHEL 8 minor versions to the following target RHEL 9 minor versions:

As @Scott mentioned use leapp tool to upgrade from RHEL 8.9 to RHEL 9.3 

Refer here for the same : https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html/upgrading_from_rhel_8_... 

For upgrading RHEL 8.2 to RHEL 8.9 use dnf tool to upgrade it ( Don forget to use dnf versionlock clear to clear the specific package version  lock , if used earlier ).
