  1. On the disconnected (air-gapped) computer we will firstly determine which pre-installation required packages need to be downloaded:

    First we check if tar package is installed:
    rpm -q tar.x86_64
    tar-1.26-35.el7.x86_64
    tar package is installed.
    We will only consider downloading and installing it later if we find we are unable to unpack the Opmantek Installer Runfile.


    Next we check if libnsl package is installed:
    rpm -q libnsl
    package libnsl is not installed
    libnsl is not installed.


    # From the above checks on this disconnected (air-gapped) computer, we have ascertained that the following packages are needed:

    linbnsl



  2. Using the connected computer with same OS and Version we will now fetch the pre-installation required packages:

    # Navigate to a clean directory to download packages to
    mkdir -p /tmp/omk_opXyz_packages
    cd /tmp/omk_opXyz_packages/


    # Download each of the dependent packages:
    yumdownloader libnsl

    No Match for argument libnsl
    Nothing to download
    # At first sight it appears we don't need libnsl for the OS + Version we are running this example on.
    # If the Opmantek Installer Runfile fails to unpack we may need to download this package from an OS Repository that is not enabled by default.


    # Since we don't have any package to download in this example we will download the tar package.
    # We will assume for the purposes of this example that the tar package needs to be updated to a newer version.
    # The command to download tar package with dependencies is:
    yumdownloader --resolve tar


    # Downloaded packages will now be in the current directory and ready for transferring to the disconnected (air-gapped) computer where they will be installed.
    ls -la

    -rw-rw-r--. 1 user user 865848 Nov 12 2018 tar-1.26-35.el7.x86_64.rpm



  3. On the disconnected (air-gapped) computer we will now install the downloaded required packages:

    # Install each of the downloaded required packages.
    # Since we don't have any package to install in this example we will install the tar package.
    # We will assume for the purposes of this example that the tar package needs to be updated to a newer version.
    sudo yum install tar-1.26-35.el7.x86_64.rpm
