If you did not set up a repository for DLM when you created the DPS repository, you
must do so now. Setting up a local repository involves moving the tarball to the selected
mirror server and extracting the tarball to create the repository.
- You must have installed and configured DPS Platform.
- You must have downloaded the required tarball from the customer portal, following
the instructions provided as part of the product procurement process.
- You must have properly prepared the web server during creation of the DPS
repository.
-
Copy the repository tarball for the DLM Instance to the web server directory and
expand (uncompress) the archive file:
-
Navigate to the web server directory you previously created.
All content in this directory is served by the web server.
-
Move the tarball to the current directory and expand the repository
tarball.
Replace <filename> with the actual name of the RPM
tarball that you are expanding.
tar zxvf <file-name>.tar.gz
During expansion of the tarball, subdirectories are created in
/var/www/html/, such as
DLM/centos7. These directories contain the
repositories.
Expanding the tarball might take several seconds.
-
Confirm that you can browse to the newly created local repository by using the
Base URL:
http://<your_webserver>:port/<repo_name>/<OS>/<version>
- <your_webserver>:port
This is the FQDN and port of the web server
host.
- <repo_name>
The repository name, usually the abbreviated name of the DPS
component, for example DLM for Data Lifecycle Manager.
- <OS>
The operating system.
- <version>
The version number of the downloaded component.
Base URL
example:
http://<your_webserver>:port/DLM/centos7/1.1.0.0
Remember this Base URL. You need it to set up the repository configuration file in
subsequent steps.
-
If you have multiple repositories configured in your environment, deploy the
following plugin on all the nodes in your cluster.
yum install yum-plugin-priorities
-
Edit the /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf file to add the
following values:
[main]
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
The local repository is now set up and ready for use.
Create the configuration file for the newly created local repository.
