Hi Frank, and everyone who chimed in to help me out. I was hoping to avoid having model-specific .repo files for our servers, but I really like the idea of having the local rsync of the dell tools, so I am going to test a fairly simple addition to our kickstart that pulls the model info and gets the repo file correct.
Thanks again for all the help, Jim -----Original Message----- From: Frank Wang [mailto:w...@yarbs.cn] Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 2010 5:36 PM To: Jim Goddard Cc: linux-poweredge@dell.com Subject: Re: Local mirror of OMSA repository > Hello, > > I am stumped on how to get the local mirror I made of the Dell > repository to work. > > I have the portions of the repository mirrored that correspond to our > hardware (not the full tree). > > Is there some guidance to creating the client's repo file so that my > machines grab from my mirror, instead of over the internet? > > I think I am missing something simple here. > > Thanks a lot, > Here's the solution working for me, 1. Mirror dell repo according to your hardware and OS (2950, R410 and R710 in my case for hardware, and RHEL only for OS) rsync -avHz --delete-after --delete-excluded --include pe2950/ --include per410/ --include per710 --exclude "/hardware/OMSA_5.*/" --exclude "/hardware/OMSA_6.0.*/" --exclude "/hardware/OMSA_6.1/" --exclude /hardware/beta/ --exclude "suse1*/" --exclude "rh40*/" --exclude "pe[[:digit:]]*/" --exclude "pe[rmt][[:digit:]]*/" rsync://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware /path/to/local/mirror The local mirror space is 7.3G here. 2. Create yum repo config [dell-omsa-indep] name=Dell OMSA repository - Hardware independent type=rpm-md baseurl=http://localmirror/dell/hardware/latest/platform_independent/rh50_64 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://localmirror/dell/hardware/latest/RPM-GPG-KEY-dell http://localmirror/dell/hardware/latest/RPM-GPG-KEY-libsmbios enabled=1 failover=priority bootstrapurl=http://localmirror/dell/hardware/latest/bootstrap.cgi [dell-omsa-specific] name=Dell OMSA repository - Hardware specific type=rpm-md baseurl=http://localmirror/dell/hardware/latest/per710/rh50_64 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://localmirror/dell/hardware/latest/RPM-GPG-KEY-dell http://localmirror/dell/hardware/latest/RPM-GPG-KEY-libsmbios enabled=1 failover=priority bootstrapurl=http://localmirror/dell/hardware/latest/bootstrap.cgi Note, the above is for a R710 server with Centos x86_64 OS, thus the /rh50_64 in the baseurl of dell-omsa-indep, and /per710/rh50_64 in the baseurl of dell-omsa-specific. You should modify yours according to your server's specification and OS. _______________________________________________ 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
