This article outlines how to install the Arellia Management Server when your target machine is not connected to the Internet.
The steps below require the use of PowerShell scripts which by default are disabled in Windows Operating Systems. To enable their use open an elevated PowerShell window and issue the command: Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass
For more information on the Set-ExecutionPolicy cmdlet you can refer to the Technet KB article Using the Set-ExecutionPolicy Cmdlet
On an Internet connected machine:
- Download the attached Create-AMSOfflinePackage.ps1 PowerShell script
Run the script by using the right click context menu or using a PowerShell command window. You can optionally specify where the files will be downloaded with the -Path argument, by default C:\OfflinePackage will be used. If you are running the script on a machine that has UAC enabled you will need elevate first if you wish to write to the root of C:
.\Create-AMSOfflinePackage.ps1 -Path C:\OfflinePackage
On your Arellia Management Server:
- Copy the Offline Package folder from your Internet connected machine using a USB drive or some other method
- Run the Install-AMSOfflinePackage.ps1 script located in the bin directory of the Offline Package. This will perform an offline installation of all the prerequisite components. Note that during the installation you may be prompted to reboot several times - this is normal and the installation will automatically resume when you next log in
- Once the machine has finished installing prerequisites run the Install-AMSOfflinePackage.ps1 script again to install the Arellia Management Server
- When the script has completed installing the bootstrap portion of Arellia Management Server it will open a browser to http://localhost/Ams/Setup at which point you can continue to install AMS as normal
- After the AMS installation has completed you are free to delete the OfflinePackage directory from your server
