YUM Repository Configuration

Introduction

To perform an installation without the system needing access to the internet, a local YUM mirror must be made of the OL7 latest, epel, and addons repository used by the OS installation.

A repository file will need to be created to reference this local YUM repository, and placed on the necessary machines (those which run the OCCNE installation Docker instances).

Prerequisites

Local YUM mirror repository for the OL7 'latest', 'epel', and 'addons' repositories. Directions here: HTTPS://WWW.ORACLE.COM/TECHNICAL-RESOURCES/ARTICLES/IT-INFRASTRUCTURE/UNBREAKABLE-LINUX-NETWORK.HTML

Subscribe to following channels while creating the yum mirror from uln:

[ol7_x86_64_UEKR5]
[ol7_x86_64_ksplice]
[ol7_x86_64_latest]
[ol7_x86_64_addons]
[ol7_x86_64_developer]
