You should enable access to repositories so ONTAP Mediator can access the required packages during the installation process

Steps

  1. Determine which repositories must be accessed, as shown in the following table:

    If your operating system is…​

    You must provide access to these repositories…​

    RHEL 7.x

    • rhel-7-server-optional-rpms

    RHEL 8.x

    • rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms

    • rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms

    RHEL 9.x

    • rhel-9-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms

    • rhel-9-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms

    CentOS 7.x

    • C7.6.1810 - Base repository

    Rocky Linux 8

    • appstream

    • baseos

    Rocky Linux 9

    • appstream

    • baseos

  2. Use one of the following procedures to enable access to the repositories listed above so ONTAP Mediator can access the required packages during the installation process.

Note If the ONTAP Mediator has dependencies on Python modules present in the "extras" and "optional" repositories, it might need to access the rhel-X-for-x86_64-extras-rpms and rhel-X-for-x86_64-optional-rpms files.
Procedure for RHEL 7.x operating system

Use this procedure if your operating system is RHEL 7.x to enable access to repositories:

Steps

  1. Subscribe to the required repository:

    subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-server-optional-rpms

    The following example shows the execution of this command:

    [root@localhost ~]# subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
Repository 'rhel-7-server-optional-rpms' is enabled for this system.

  2. Run the yum repolist command.

    The following example shows the execution of this command. The "rhel-7-server-optional-rpms" repository should appear in the list.

    [root@localhost ~]# yum repolist

Procedure for CentOS 7.x operating system

Use this procedure if your operating system is CentOS 7.x to enable access to repositories:

Note The following examples are showing a repository for CentOS 7.6 and might not work for other CentOS versions. Use the base repository for your version of CentOS.
Steps

  1. Add the C7.6.1810 - Base repository. The C7.6.1810 - Base vault repository contains the "kernel-devel" package needed for ONTAP Mediator.

  2. Add the following lines to /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Vault.repo.

    [C7.6.1810-base]
name=CentOS-7.6.1810 - Base
baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/7.6.1810/os/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7
enabled=1

  3. Run the yum repolist command.

    The following example shows the execution of this command. The CentOS-7.6.1810 - Base repository should appear in the list.
