- Login to the VM as root
- Validate the SHA256 hash for the RPM package and make sure that it matches with the hash provided above. For example:
acm-vapp:~ # sha256sum /tmp/bzip2-1.0.8-150400.1.122.x86_64.rpm 5fb6d380f26b87b5bf4ac012e8225d19f144d50c92e9da758fc89d6b642e799c /tmp/bzip2-1.0.8-150400.1.122.x86_64.rpm acm-vapp:~ #
