Hi Patrick,

                    The NFS and CIFs utils are available in new DCO 8.2.2 version so could you please refer the below command to verify the packages.If these packages are missing in DCO server you  have to download the rpm package from the internet and install it manually without internet access.

[apc@SWO-HPDL380-S32 ~]$ sudo rpm -qa | grep nfs-utils
nfs-utils-1.3.0-0.48.el7_4.x86_64
[apc@SWO-HPDL380-S32 ~]$ sudo rpm -qa | grep cifs-utils
cifs-utils-6.2-10.el7.x86_64
[apc@SWO-HPDL380-S32 ~]$

Thanks

Hi Satish

thanks for your feedback about this. Since DCO 8.2.0 the nfs-utils are missing at installation, i just did a new installation to verify this:

[root@dco /]# sudo rpm -qa | grep nfs-utils

[root@dco /]# sudo rpm -qa | grep cifs-utils

cifs-utils-6.2-10.el7.x86_64

I know that i can install it local by downloading from repository but can you tell me how to install from a downloaded package? And can you tell me why this is no more included in the default installation because most of the customers i know are using nfs to backup their servers.

Hi Satishkumar Shankar,

I have a problem in a client, CIFS backup is not working over DCO 8.1.0. The mounted folder stop working after a little time.

Could be this related to this topic issue?

Hi Javier Zurera,

                           If the CIFs package missing in DCO server then the CIFS mount itself will not work.

Instead of mounting it will throw an error "failed to save mount cifs error " message will appear in the webmin page during the mount itself.

Whereas the CIFS and NFS packages will be available in DCO server by default in all of the DCO versions.

Hi Satishkumar Shankar,

I have checked that CIFs package is included but not NFS:

How can we install the packet without Internet? Our customer has configured a NFS for this purpose to avoid the CIFs problems and now we can not configure it... ☹️

Hi,

As far as i am aware, you can get the rpm from vault.centos.org, DCO is built on a custom centos7 build i believe.

This would then need to be downloaded and copied to the server using either a USB stick or something like FTP/SSH from another machine on the same network.

Once it's on the server you would run the command

rpm -Uvh foo.rpm

where "foo" is replaced by the name of the package you have copied to your server.

Hi Alastair,

I tried, but this package needs other dependencies before. And if I try to install the other packages needed, they also have other dependencies so I think it is impossible without Internet connection::

Hi Javier,

It will be possible but you will have to go through the list of dependencies and install those in the same way, all packages should be available from the link i posted at the centos vault.

If the server you have DCO installed on has a CD/DVD drive or the ability to mount a removable disk/iso in the hypervisor if it's a virtual machine then you could burn a centos 7 disk and install the packages from the ISO/DVD/CD.

Hope this helps.

Just a comment: I also experienced the same. nfsutils is not installed by default on a new 8.2.2 DCO server.
