2.3 Enabling Access to the Gluster Storage for Oracle Linux Packages

The Gluster Storage for Oracle Linux packages are available on the Oracle Linux yum server in the ol7_gluster41 repository, or on the Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) in the ol7_x86_64_gluster41 channel, however there are also dependencies across other repositories and channels, and these must also be enabled on each system where Gluster is installed.

Enabling Repositories with ULN

If you are registered to use ULN, use the ULN web interface to subscribe the system to the appropriate channels.

To subscribe to the ULN channels:

Log in to https://linux.oracle.com with your ULN user name and password.
On the Systems tab, click the link named for the system in the list of registered machines.
On the System Details page, click Manage Subscriptions.

Enabling Repositories with the Oracle Linux Yum Server

If you are using the Oracle Linux yum server for system updates, enable the Gluster Storage for Oracle Linux yum repository.

To enable the yum repositories:

To enable the required repositories on the Oracle Linux yum server, make sure your system is using the modular yum repository configuration. If your system is not using the modular yum repository configuration, install the oraclelinux-release-el7 package and run the /usr/bin/ol_yum_configure.sh script.
```
# yum install oraclelinux-release-el7
# /usr/bin/ol_yum_configure.sh
```
Install the oracle-gluster-release-el7 release package to install the Gluster Storage for Oracle Linux yum repository configuration.
```
# yum install oracle-gluster-release-el7
```
Enable the following yum repositories:
- ol7_gluster41
- ol7_addons
- ol7_latest
- ol7_optional_latest
- ol7_UEKR5 or ol7_UEKR4
Use the yum-config-manager tool to enable the yum repositories:
```
# yum-config-manager --enable ol7_gluster41 ol7_addons ol7_latest ol7_optional_latest ol7_UEKR5
```
