Issue

When users need to install the SupremRAID driver but cannot connect to the external network.

Resolution

  1. Prepare an environment with SupremeRAID card and have internet access.


  2. Pre-setup, and download the pre-installer package from Graid's website
    #dpkg -l | awk '/^ii/ {print $2, $3}' > pre-setup.txt
    #wget <pre-installer package>
  3. Run pre-installer and ensure the pre-installer is running correctly
    #     bash graid-sr-pre-installer-1.5.0-*-x86_64.run

  4. Post-setup
    #     dpkg -l | awk '/^ii/ {print $2, $3}'> post-setup.txt
    #  sort pre-setup.txt -o pre-setup.txt
    # sort  post-setup.txt -o post-setup.txt
    # comm -13 pre-setup.txt post-setup.txt > required_installed.txt
    # cat required_installed.txt | awk '{print $1}' > required_installed.name.txt
    # mkdir required_installed/
    # cp required_installed.name.txt required_installed/ &&  cd required_installed/
    # while read line; do sudo apt-get download $line; done < required_installed.name.txt
    # rm -rf required_installed.name.txt && cd ..
    # tar -czvf required_install.tar.gz required_installed/
    Copy the "required_install.tar.gz" file to user's offline environment


  5.  At the offline environment, put all the required package like pre-installer, driver, and required_install.tar.gz into the offline environment.
  6. Installation
    #tar -zxvf required_install.tar.gz
    #cd required_installed/
    #apt install ./*
    #bash graid-preinstaller


  7. After reboot the system, execute the SupremeRAID driver:
    #bash graid-sr-installer-1.5.0-*-*-*.run


  8. Active the service by apply the license key
    # sudo graidctl apply license [license key]

    Note: Replace [license key] with the card's license key.
