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.

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
```
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> 
```
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.
