Installing Session Monitor using Method 2

Install Session Monitor using Method 2 where the Repo server is a separate node. Session Monitor should be able to reach the Repo server.

1. Log in to the Repo server as a root user OR root privileged user and execute Steps 2 to 8.
2. Ensure that 5 GB to 10 GB free space is available in the /tmp folder on this server.
3. If the /tmp/ocsm folder is already present, take a backup of the /tmp/ocsm folder if required and delete the folder /tmp/ocsm.
4. Create the folder /tmp/ocsm .

   mkdir /tmp/ocsm

5. Navigate to the folder /tmp/ocsm.

   cd /tmp/ocsm

6. Transfer all the contents of the folder /tmp/ocsm from the Linux machine - where you have downloaded the RPM files and scripts - to the /tmp/ocsm folder on the Repo server.
7. Set execute permission as:
   chmod +x *.sh
8. Run the following command to prepare the Repo server.
   ./Offline_Repo_Server_preparation_Rel_6.1.sh
9. Log in to the Session Monitor server installed with Oracle Linux 9.6 as a root or root privileged user, and execute Steps 10 to 16.
10. Check if you have 5 GB to 10 GB free space available in the /tmp folder on the Session Monitor Server.
11. If the /tmp/ocsm folder is already present, take a backup of the /tmp/ocsm folder if required, and delete the folder /tmp/ocsm.
12. Create the folder /tmp/ocsm using this command:
    mkdir /tmp/ocsm
13. Transfer all the contents of the folder /tmp/ocsm on the Repo server machine to the folder /tmp/ocsm on the Session Monitor server.
14. Go to the folder /tmp/ocsm.
    cd /tmp/ocsm
15. Install the Kernel version 5.15.0-302.167.6:
    1. 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

    2. Verify the grub configuration and check that the installed kernel is listed:

       grubby --info=ALL | grep -E "^kernel|^index"

    3. Set the default kernel:

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

    4. Reboot the system:

       reboot

    5. Verify the kernel version after reboot:

       uname -a

16. Navigate to the folder /tmp/ocsm on the Session Monitor server:

    cd /tmp/ocsm

17. 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>

18. Set the execute permission

    chmod +x *.sh

19. Run the script ./Offline_OCSM_Installation_Rel_6.1.sh <REPO_SERVER_IP> to install the Session Monitor.
    ./Offline_OCSM_Installation_Rel_6.1.sh <REPO_SERVER_IP>
    where <REPO_SERVER_IP> is the IP address of the Repo server. For example:

    ./Offline_OCSM_Installation_Rel_6.1.sh 192.168.1.10
