  • Upgrading linux-firmware. Error: all mirrors were already tried without success

    Posted on

    I'm getting the following error on two servers I'm trying to update. I saw another similar discussion post from 2021 (https://access.redhat.com/discussions/6126511) where the issue seemed to fix itself after waiting a little bit. Is the below the same situation?

    [root@server2 user2]# yum upgrade linux-firmware
    Updating Subscription Management repositories.
