Upgrading the Session Monitor Software with Internet Connectivity

Upgrading the Session Monitor software

Note:

Complete Steps 1 and 2 only, if the software version is 6.1.0.0.0. For other 6.1 patch version, steps 1 and 2 can be skipped.
  1. Install the Kernel version 5.15.0-302.167.6
    1. Enable the ol9_UEKR7 repository:
      dnf config-manager --set-enabled ol9_UEKR7 
    2. Install the kernel:
      dnf install -y kernel-uek-5.15.0-302.167.6.el9uek.x86_64
    3. Verify the grub configuration and check installed kernel is listed:
      grubby --info=ALL | grep -E "^kernel|^index"
      
    4. Set the default kernel:
      grubby --set-default=/boot/vmlinuz-5.15.0-302.167.6.el9uek.x86_64
      
    5. Reboot the system:
      reboot
    6. Verify the kernel version after reboot:
      uname -a
  2. Once the VM or Server is up and running with 5.15 kernel, then uninstall 6.x kernel using the following commands:
    rpm -qa | grep '^kernel-uek' | grep 6.12
    dnf remove <6.12 kernel packages> 
  3. Ensure that the installation script has the executable permission. If not, then set it by executing below command.
    chmod +x ./scripts/Upgrade_OCSM_Rel_6.1.sh

    Note:

    Session Monitor Installation may take several minutes depending on the data size of MySQL.
  4. Upgrade Session Monitor and its dependencies using this command.
    ./scripts/Upgrade_OCSM_Rel_6.1.sh ocsm-<rn>-RPM-GA.zip
    where: <rn> is the current Session Monitor release number.
    For example:
    ocsm-6.1.0.0.0-RPM-GA.zip
