Hi all,
Recently, I have been tasked with installing VTune on a couple of Linux development servers. There are several problems though:
- The servers have no or limited Internet connectivity. They can connect to a license server though, running on a different machine.
- There is no way how to obtain root or sudo access (only a regular user account is available).
- All software packages MUST be installed via RPM (or yum).
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?
- Can the installation be performed using only RPMs?
- Can the kernel module be precompiled for a given OS and packaged into RPM as well?
- Following a kernel update, will the module continue to work or will it need to be reinstalled?
Many thanks in advance,
Ondrej
