Note: This step is required only if you want the installer to use a local yum repository to obtain the operating system RPMs and updates. If you are using up2date, the installer can obtain the required operating system RPMs and updates directly from the Red Hat Network (RHN).
The following procedure describes the process for setting up a yum repository on the server and for downloading the required RPMs to the local FTP server.
To set up the yum repository and download the RPMs to your local FTP server:
ftp/ftp@swsoft.com
). You are logged in to your Home directory./home/ftp/os
) and the RPM updates (for example, /home/ftp/updates) using the following commands:mkdir
< os_repository>
mkdir
< updates_repository>
cp /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS
<os_repository>
cp /mnt/cdrom/Fedora/RPMS
<os_repository>
cp /mnt/cdrom/CentOS/RPMS
<os_repository>
cp
<source_updates> <updates_repository>
where <source_updates> is the Web address from where you obtain the operating system updates and <updates_repository> is the directory you created in step 2.
rpm -Uvh createrepo-0.4.1-1
createrepo
<os_repository>
createrepo
<updates_repository>
The yum repository is now set up.
After you set up the yum repository, proceed to download the Parallels Pro Control Panel installation files as described in the next step.
