Installing Session Monitor using Method 1

Install Session Monitor using Method 1 where the Session Monitor node acts as the Repo server.

  1. Log in to the Session Monitor server as a root user OR root privileged user
  2. Ensure that 5 GB to 10 GB free space is available in the /tmp folder on this server.

  4. Create the folder /tmp/ocsm.
    mkdir /tmp/ocsm
  5. Transfer the contents of the folder /tmp/ocsm from the Linux machine, where you have downloaded all the RPM files and scripts - to the /tmp/ocsm folder on the Session Monitor server.
  6. Navigate to the folder /tmp/ocsm on the Session Monitor server. 
    cd /tmp/ocsm
  7. Set execute permission as:
