Creating an EDB repository on an isolated network v8

Suggest edits

You can create a local repository to act as a host for the PEM RPM packages if the server where you want to upgrade PEM can't directly access the EDB repository. This is a high-level overview of the steps required. You might need to modify the process for your own network.

To create and use a local repository:

  1. Use the following commands on a system with Internet access to download the dependencies for PEM:

    yum install yum-plugin-downloadonly
mkdir /<pem_dir>
yum install --downloadonly --downloaddir=/<pem_dir>/ edb-pem
mkdir /<epel_dir>
yum install --downloadonly --downloaddir=/<epel_dir>/ epel-release*

    Where <pem_dir> and <epel_dir> are the local directories that you create for downloading the RPMs.

  2. Copy the directories /<pem_dir> and /<epel_dir> to the machine in the isolated network.

  3. Create the repositories:

    createrepo /<pem_dir>
createrepo /<epel_dir>

  4. Create a repository configuration file called /etc/yum.repos.d/pem.repo with connection information that specifies:

    [pemrepo]
name=PEM Repository
baseurl=file:///pem7/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

  5. Create a repository configuration file called /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo with connection information that specifies:

    [epelrepo]
name=epel Repository
baseurl=file:///pem7/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

  6. After specifying the location and connection information for your local repository, you can use dnf commands to install or upgrade PEM server:

    To install PEM server:

    dnf install edb-pem

    To upgrade PEM server:

    dnf upgrade edb-pem
