    Description

      While https://docs.opsmanager.mongodb.com/current/tutorial/configure-local-mode/#determine-which-binaries-to-store is a start, it is important we add a sort of warning box that explains the following:

      Ops Manager has pre-flight checks that will not allow Ops Manager to start in "local" mode if any version is selected in any group's Version Manager that does not have an associated binary stored locally on the Ops Manager application server.

      This becomes a blocker commonly when Ops Manager is initially used for a deployment in the default internet mode, where by numerous MongoDB versions are selected in the Version Manager by default.

      In this scenario, it is critical to deselect all the version (e.g. those selected via the "3.0.", "2.6." etc menus which select a large number of versions. A lot of people may assume that only versions in a managed deployment would be checked for in the pre-flight checks but they are actually looking for all versions (even those unused) enabled in the Version Manager.

      While it is possible to move forward by placing all listed binaries in the releases directory, it is often easier to rectify preflight issues like the following

      "Starting pre-flight checks
      Managed deployments reference MongoDB versions not present in /opt/mongodb/mms/mongodb-releases/:
      Group ABCDEF uses ....

      by
      1) Re-start Ops Manger in the default ("mongodb" mode)
      2) In the UI, go to all groups listed in the pre-flight checks' Deployment > Version Manager pages, and for each
      – a) De-select all versions (except those required since in use by a managed deployment)
      – b) Click "Review & Deploy" to save the reduced Version Manager configuration
      3) Return Ops Manager to "local" mode configuration and shut Ops Manager down
      4) Place binaries in the releases directory for the minimum required (managed) mongodb versions
      5) Start Ops Manager
