https://community.intel.com/t5/Analyzers/Installing-VTune-in-a-restricted-environment/m-p/1092325#M15647 <P>Hi all,</P> <P>Recently, I have been tasked with installing VTune on a couple of Linux development servers. There are several problems though:</P> <OL> <LI>The servers have no or limited Internet connectivity. They can connect to a license server though, running on a different machine.</LI> <LI>There is no way how to obtain root or sudo access (only a regular user account is available).</LI> <LI>All software packages MUST be installed via RPM (or yum).</LI> </OL> <P>VTune uses an install script which cannot be used for the reason number 3. Furthermore, I understand VTune contains a kernel module which needs to be somehow introduced into the system, and needs to match the running kernel. I am sure there are other people using this software as well in similarly restricted environment, is there some guidance on the following?</P> <OL> <LI>Can the installation be performed using only RPMs?</LI> <LI>Can the kernel module be precompiled for a given OS and packaged into RPM as well?</LI> <LI>Following a kernel update, will the module continue to work or will it need to be reinstalled?</LI> </OL> <P>Many thanks in advance,</P> <P>Ondrej</P> Wed, 10 Aug 2016 18:50:02 GMT Ondrej_J_ 2016-08-10T18:50:02Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Analyzers/Installing-VTune-in-a-restricted-environment/m-p/1092325#M15647 <P>Hi all,</P> <P>Recently, I have been tasked with installing VTune on a couple of Linux development servers.
