Installing or updating the prerequisite RPM packages

You can obtain the prerequisite RPM packages from the Linux OS media or the distribution website, such as for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

You can check which RPM packages are missing by running the precheck tool (analytics_precheck.sh).

  • The package nss-3.21.0 may not be included in the Linux OS media for certain versions. Obtain this package from the Linux OS media for version 6.8 or later or from the distribution website.
  • If the libstdc++ package is already installed in the environment in which the Analyzer probe server will run, you might not be able to install libstdc++.i686 and an error message such as the following might be output:

    Protected multilib versions: libstdc++-xx.xx.xx-xx.xx.el6.i686 != libstdc++-yy.yy.yy-yy.yy.el6.x86_64

    This error occurs because the version of the x86_64 package (the 64-bit library) differs from that of the i686 package (the 32-bit compatibility library). If this happens, update x86_64 (the 64-bit library), and then retry the installation of libstdc++.i686:

    yum update libstdc++.x86_64
Installing or updating the RPM packages by using the Linux OS media

The following describes how to install or update the RPM packages by using the Linux OS media.

  1. Mount the Linux OS media and obtain the RPM packages:
    mkdir /media/OSImage
    mount /dev/cdrom /media/OSImage
  2. Configure the yum repository:
    touch /etc/yum.repos.d/OSImage.repo
    echo [dvd]>>/etc/yum.repos.d/OSImage.repo
    echo name=dvd>>/etc/yum.repos.d/OSImage.repo
    echo baseurl=file:///media/OSImage/>>/etc/yum.repos.d/OSImage.repo
    echo gpgcheck=0>>/etc/yum.repos.d/OSImage.repo
    echo enabled=1>>/etc/yum.repos.d/OSImage.repo
  3. Run the yum command to install or update the packages and package group:
    • For packages

      yum install package-to-install
    • For the package group

      yum group install package-group-to-install
  4. Unmount the Linux OS media:
    umount /media/OSImage/
    rm /etc/yum.repos.d/OSImage.repo
Installing or updating the RPM packages using the distribution website

The following describes how to install or update the RPM packages by using the distribution website.

  1. Specify the repository to which the yum command is to connect.
  2. If you are using a proxy, specify the proxy for the yum command:
    1. Add the following information to the /etc/yum.conf file:
      proxy=http://host-name:port-number
      proxy_username=user-name
      proxy_password=password
    2. Clear the cache for the yum command.
      yum clean all
  3. Run the yum command to install or update the packages and package group.
