If Mividas virtual machine has been set up in a network where the server does not have access to the internet, the approach to configuring and installing products will look a bit different.
If you have set up the Mividas Installer virtual machine in an environment with internet access you may skip this section.
Even in an offline environment, the first step is to enter your license key, but in this case check “Ignore verification errors and save anyway” before you choose to proceed. This causes Mividas Installer to ignore verification errors due to the connection failure and save it anyway. To install the actual software you will need to export offline bundle packages from a separate Mividas Installer with internet access.
Proceed as follows:
- Online VM: Follow the steps in the documentation VM deployment and install a virtual machine in an environment with internet access.
- Online VM: Navigate to Mividas Installer via the URL you received from the command line when setting up the virtual machine.
- Online VM: Enter default password
- Online VM: Proceed to enter license key
- Online VM: After your license key has been verified, you now have the opportunity to export bundle packages of the product range that is available for your license key, which you can read more about in the section Export product bundle for offline use.
- Offline VM: Enter your license key in the text field, tick “Ignore verification errors and save anyway” and click “Submit”.
- Offline VM: Fill in server settings for your environment, which you will find more detailed information about in the section Enter default information.
- Offline VM: Once an offline bundle has been exported from the Online VM, you now need to import it to your Mividas Installer located in the offline environment. Read more about how to proceed with this in the Handle offline bundles section.
Export product bundle for offline use
To create an offline bundle, start by configuring the product that you intend to bundle for offline use. Note that you only need to enter the required fields, the settings you enter will need to be re-entered when you then configure the product in your offline environment.
This section is only relevant for you who install Mividas Installer in an environment that does not have access to the internet and can otherwise be skipped.
Then select the versions you of the product you want to export to your installation that does not have internet access. Once you have selected the version for the product, then click on “Export offline bundles” further down the page and save the resulting file.
Export Mividas Installer for offline upgrade
A new version of Mividas Installer can also be bundled for use in an environment that lacks internet. Start by navigating to “Settings” in the menu at the top of the page followed by clicking on the “Upgrade installer” tab.
On this page you have the option to export an offline bundle version by clicking on “Export offline bundle of installer”. The file you exported can then be used to upgrade Mividas Installer in an environment that lacks internet. You can read more about using offline bundles in the next section.
Handle offline bundles
For this section, we assume that you have gone through Mividas Installer onboarding in an offline environment and have now exported an offline bundle that you will now import in the environment that lacks internet access.
This section is only relevant if you have installed Mividas Installer in an environment that does not have internet access.
Start by navigating to “Settings” via the menu at the top of the page followed by clicking on the “Handle offline bundles” tab. Here you can then easily import the offline bundle that you exported in previous steps. Select the file and click “Import” to proceed.
After the offline bundle have been imported you should now have access to configure and deploy the products you exported with the offline bundle.
