Installing Session Monitor in an Offline Mode - Using the OSDC Website

This chapter describes how to install Session Monitor when the Session Monitor node is without an internet connection.

Note:

This procedure was tested on:
  • Oracle Linux 8.10
  • MySQL 8.4.4
  • MySQL Connector 8.4.0
The versions of the 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 8.4.4 and the RPM file for Session Monitor Release 6.0.0.0.0. Use the latest version of dependency RPMs for all future patch releases based on the Oracle Linux, MySQL and Session Monitor RPM used.
You can install 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 installation requires a temporary repo server to resolve the package dependencies. Henceforth, 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 Session Monitor node does not have an internet connectivity, so the dependency RPMs and packages would be first downloaded on a machine which has the internet connectivity.

Caution:

Install the Session Monitor node with Oracle Linux 8.10.
