RHEL 7 Release Candidate: repositories are not ready?

Latest response

I have installed RHEL 7RC and registered it during the installation. However yum command returns errors:

$ sudo yum repolist all
Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, subscription-manager
https://cdn.redhat.com/content/rc/rhel/server/7/x86_64/optional/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTPS Error 403 - Forbidden

I wonder if the repositories for the 7RC are not ready for use.

Responses

With RHEL 7RC Workstation, I don't seem to even get this far: no repos at all appear to be available.

Same experience here. What's interesting is when I installed RC in VM Ware, at one point, I was able to install extra packages. So either they went offline or something else is happening.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll check this out.

All: Try it now, there was an issue on our end (Red Hat). Sorry for the inconvenience!

Tried the following..

1 input:

yum repolist all

output:

Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, subscription-manager
repolist: 0

2 input:

subscription-manager list

output:

+-------------------------------------------+
Installed Product Status
+-------------------------------------------+
Product Name: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation
Product ID: 71
Version: 7.0
Arch: x86_64

Status Details:

Do you think i should re-register?

3 input:

subscription-manager repos

output:

This system has no repositories available through subscriptions.

As a side note.. The workstation version of the installation seems to be missing the GUI version of subscription manager. I have to open a terminal and use the CLI version.

Thank you. It's working now.

Working for me now, thanks.

What issue were you experiencing? The 0 repositories available or the broken url links the OP mentioned? Did the issue resolve itself, or did you apply any special steps such as re-registering, clearing any caches, etc?

I registered through the command line as follows:

subscription-manager register

username: xxxx
password: xxxx

The system has been registered with ID: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

subscription-manager attach --auto

Installed Product Current Status:
Product Name: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation
Status: Subscribed

I was experiencing the 403 forbidden responses. Nothing needed on my end, just started working.

Please see Andrius' note. It was on their (Red Hat's) end that had an issue. :)

Right, but for me, the issue is still not resolved.. Even though the system is registered and a subscription is attached, I do not have access to any repositories.. I guess my problem might be off-topic from the OP. But one other person also experience the 0 repositories available problem.

Hmm, yours is 'Workstation' while mine is 'Server'. Wonder if that makes any difference ...

I tried installing Server and that works. This seems to be a Workstation issue.

I deleted my system in the Customer Portal and re-added it and added a Workstation Subscription:

[karlgrose@krg3b ~]$ sudo subscription-manager list --consumed

But still no repos:

[karlgrose@krg3b ~]$ sudo subscription-manager repos --list
This system has no repositories available through subscriptions.
[karlgrose@krg3b ~]$ sudo yum repolist
Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, subscription-manager
repolist: 0

My experience is consistent with yours.

Greetings All,

Both the Customer Portal (via the Get-Beta page) and CDN (via yum) only have Server variants populated for the the Release Candidate.

The FTP site has all variants though as a workaround (see below). Sorry the inconvenience!

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/rhel/rc/7/
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/supplementary/rc/7/

To enable the ftp repo site for RC7 Workstation I used:

sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/rhel/rc/7/Workstation/x86_64/os/

and added the gpgkey URL to the generated repo file:

[ftp.redhat.com_pub_redhat_rhel_rc_7_Workstation_x86_64_os_]
name=added from: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/rhel/rc/7/Workstation/x86_64/os/
baseurl=ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/rhel/rc/7/Workstation/x86_64/os/
enabled=1
gpgkey=ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/rhel/rc/7/Workstation/x86_64/os/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release

Perfect! Thanks.. I also added the debugging packages.

I have the same problem. Workstation load subscription registered enabled ... etc.

I tried to follow your steps above. I guess I do not understand the syntax well enough and got an error on the ftp site -

Problem repository: ftp.redhat.com_pub_redhat_rhel_rc_7_Workstation_x86_64_os_

It ends just like that. What needs to be added?

Thanks in advance.

Dennis, if you're still stuck, look for a repo file under /etc/yum.repos.d

It probably has all the lines from the Karl Grose posting except the last one, just copy and paste into yours and you should be all set.

Lastly, Satellite is not enabled for the RC. So getting a new Sat cert will not have any effect.

Roger,

This is an important issue regarding the installer, but not related to the original subject. Will you start a new discussion thread so that we can talk about it?
