Creating an EDB repository on an isolated network v9

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:

   → WrapCopy

   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:

   → WrapCopy

   createrepo /<pem_dir>
   createrepo /<epel_dir>

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

   → WrapCopy

   [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:

   → WrapCopy

   [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:

   → WrapCopy

   dnf install edb-pem

   To upgrade PEM server:

   → WrapCopy

   dnf upgrade edb-pem
