This section describes how to configure the Repo server in order to install OCSM.

1. Copy the RPMs to the repo server in a temporary directory, such as /tmp/ocsm/.
2. Install the following RPMs in this order:
   1. rpm -ivh vsftpd-3.0.3-36.el8.x86_64.rpm
   2. rpm -ivh drpm-0.4.1-3.el8.x86_64.rpm
   3. rpm -ivh createrepo_c-libs-0.17.7-6.el8.x86_64.rpm
   4. rpm -ivh createrepo_c-0.17.7-6.el8.x86_64.rpm
3. Move the /tmp/ocsm/ directory to /var/ftp/pub/ by running the following command:

   mv /tmp/ocsm/  /var/ftp/pub/

4. Copy the RPM files of OCSM and MySQL to /var/ftp/pub/ocsm/.

   Note:

   OCSM uses the MySQL 8.0.39 Commercial Package for offline installation.

   Note:

   The OCSM dependencies used here are based on MySQL 8.0.39, installing a different version of MySQL requires changes in the dependency RPMs.

   • mysql-commercial-backup-8.0.39-1.1.el8.x86_64.rpm
   • mysql-commercial-common-8.0.39-1.1.el8.x86_64.rpm
   • mysql-commercial-libs-8.0.39-1.1.el8.x86_64.rpm
   • mysql-commercial-client-8.0.39-1.1.el8.x86_64.rpm
   • mysql-commercial-devel-8.0.39-1.1.el8.x86_64.rpm
   • mysql-commercial-server-8.0.39-1.1.el8.x86_64.rpm
   • mysql-commercial-client-plugins-8.0.39-1.1.el8.x86_64.rpm
   • mysql-commercial-icu-data-files-8.0.39-1.1.el8.x86_64.rpm
   • mysql-commercial-test-8.0.39-1.1.el8.x86_64.rpm
   OCSM, MySQL, and other dependency RPM files are now located in /var/ftp/pub/ocsm/.
5. Run the following command to create the Repo:

   createrepo  /var/ftp/pub/ocsm/

6. Add a comment in front of the root line of /etc/vsftpd/ftpusers and /etc/vsftpd/user_list using "#" to say the following:

   [root@test vsftpd]# cat /etc/vsftpd/ftpusers
   # Users that are not allowed to login via ftp
   #root
   bin
   daemon
   adm
   lp
   sync
   shutdown
   halt
   mail
   news
   uucp
   operator
   games
   nobody

   [root@test vsftpd]# cat /etc/vsftpd/user_list
   # vsftpd userlist
   # If userlist_deny=NO, only allow users in this file
   # If userlist_deny=YES (default), never allow users in this file, and
   # do not even prompt for a password.
   # Note that the default vsftpd pam config also checks /etc/vsftpd/ftpusers
   # for users that are denied.
   #root
   bin
   daemon
   adm
   lp
   sync
   shutdown
   halt
   mail
   news
   uucp
   operator
   games
   nobody

7. Disable SELinux by running the following commands:

   setenforce 0
   sed -i -e "s/^SELINUX=.*/SELINUX=disabled/" /etc/selinux/config
   reboot
   

8. Using an editor, open the file /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf.
9. Comment the line anonymous_enable=NO.
10. Save and quit the vsftpd.conf file.
11. Start the vsftp service by running the following commands:

    systemctl start vsftpd
    systemctl enable vsftpd

12. Check the status of vsftp service by running the following command:

    systemctl status vsftpd

    The status of the service should be active (running).
13. Disable the firewall by running the following commands:

    systemctl stop firewalld
    systemctl disable firewalld
