Prerequisites

You can upgrade Session Monitor in an offline mode using any one of the methods listed here:

  • Method 1: Session Monitor node acts as the repo server.
  • Method 2: A separate node acts as the repo server.

Session Monitor upgrade requires a temporary Repo server to resolve the package dependencies. Going forward, this server will be referred to as the Repo server in this document.

The Repo server can be a part of the Session Monitor node itself (Method 1) OR it can be separate node (Method 2). If it is a separate node, the Session Monitor node must be able to reach the Repo server. In both methods, it is assumed that as the Session Monitor node does not have an internet connectivity, so the dependency RPM files and packages must be first downloaded on a machine which has the internet connectivity.

Note:

This procedure was tested on
  • Oracle Linux 8.10
  • MySQL 8.0.33
  • MySQL Connector 8.0.41

The versions of Dependency RPMs used in this procedure are the latest available versions at the time of this release based on Oracle Linux 8.10 and MySQL 8.0.41 and the RPM file for Session Monitor Release 5.2.0.0.5. Use the latest version of dependency RPMs for all future patch releases based on the Oracle Linux, MySQL and Session Monitor RPM used.
