Yes, if the CDROM is not recognized as local, then you will need to create a repository that is accessible from NFS, FTP or HTTP.
I recently created a RHEL5 repository to use as an NFS export. Here is the worksheet that I used: Paul # createrepo.txt # # Tuesday, 15-Sep-2009, create rhel5 repository # 1) need the tool yum -y install createrepo 2) grab all content from dvd cd /data/media/rh401 mkdir dvd mount -o loop rhel-server-5.4-x86_64-dvd.iso dvd cp -r dvd rhel-server-5.4-x86_64 3.1) copy the comps file for each repo (defines groups) RHEL5 cd rhel-server-5.4-x86_64/Server/ cp repodata/comps-rhel5-server-core.xml /var/tmp/comps.Server rm -fr repodata/ cd ../Cluster cp repodata/comps-rhel5-cluster.xml /var/tmp/comps.Cluster rm -fr repodata/ cd ../ClusterStorage cp repodata/comps-rhel5-cluster-st.xml /var/tmp/comps.ClusterStorage rm -fr repodata/ cd ../VT cp repodata/comps-rhel5-vt.xml /var/tmp/comps.VT rm -fr repodata/ 5.1) create the repos, RHEL5 cd /data/media/rhel-server-5.4-x86_64 createrepo -vg /var/tmp/comps.Server Server/ createrepo -vg /var/tmp/comps.Cluster Cluster/ createrepo -vg /var/tmp/comps.ClusterStorage ClusterStorage/ createrepo -vg /var/tmp/comps.VT VT/ _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list Linux-PowerEdge@dell.com https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
