Installing Session Monitor using Method 1

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

Log in to the Session Monitor server installed with Oracle Linux 9.6 as a root user OR root privileged user
Ensure that 5 GB to 10 GB free space is available in the /tmp folder on this server.
If the /tmp/ocsm folder is already present, take a backup of the /tmp/ocsm folder if required and delete the folder /tmp/ocsm.
Create the folder /tmp/ocsm .
```
mkdir /tmp/ocsm
```
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.
Navigate to the folder /tmp/ocsm on the Session Monitor server.
cd /tmp/ocsm

Note:
Complete steps 7 and 9 only, if the Session Monitor software version is 6.1.0.0.0. For 6.1 patch version, steps 7 and 9 can be skipped.

Install the Kernel version 5.15.0-302.167.6

Install the kernel RPMs in order:

rpm -ivh kernel-uek-core-5.15.0-302.167.6.el9uek.x86_64.rpm --oldpackage

rpm -ivh kernel-uek-modules-5.15.0-302.167.6.el9uek.x86_64.rpm --oldpackage

rpm -ivh kernel-uek-5.15.0-302.167.6.el9uek.x86_64.rpm --oldpackage

Verify the grub configuration and check installed kernel is listed:
```
grubby --info=ALL | grep -E "^kernel|^index"
```

Set the default kernel:

grubby --set-default=/boot/vmlinuz-5.15.0-302.167.6.el9uek.x86_64

Navigate to the folder /tmp/ocsm on the Session Monitor server:
```
cd /tmp/ocsm
```
Once the VM or Server is up and running with 5.15 kernel, uninstall 6.x kernel and its associated dependencies by executing the following commands
```
rpm -qa | grep '^kernel-uek' | grep 6.12
dnf remove <6.12 kernel packages> 
```
Set execute permission as:
chmod +x *.sh
Run the following command to install Session Monitor.
./Offline_Repo_OCSM_Rel_6.1.sh
