If you have a fresh installation of red hat enterprise linux
7, you cannot access yum commands by default. Also you have to subscribe redhat
to get repository updates from the internet.
I explained below how to make local yum repository and map
using iso image in the cdrom.
First mount cdrom to a specific folder,
[akila@localhost
~]# mount /dev/cdrom /<yourDirectory>
Then create and start editing new repo using below command, RHEL_7_Disc.repo
is your local .repo file
[akila@localhost
~]# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/RHEL_7_Disc.repo
Then add below command in the file,
[RHEL_7_Disc]
name=RHEL_7_x86_64_Disc
baseurl="file:///<DirectoryYou
mount your cdrom>/"
gpgcheck=0
That’s all. You have successfully created local yum
repository in your machine.
Check repolist using below command, and you will see below
result,
[root@lolfusionlbone
~]# yum repolist
Loaded
plugins: langpacks, product-id, subscription-manager
This
system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use
subscription-manager to register.
repo
id repo
name
status
RHEL_7_Disc RHEL_7_x86_64_Disc 4,305
repolist:
4,305
Just try to install telnet using yum command to test the
installation of repository by using below command,
[root@lolfusionlbone
~]# yum install telnet
