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

    Note:

     Complete steps 15 and 17 only, if the Session Monitor software version is 6.1.0.0.0. For 6.1 patch version, steps 15 and 17 can be skipped.
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
