  • Security plugin in Local yum repository

    Posted on

    Hi All,

    I have created the local yum repositories for RHEL 5 and RHEL 6 on separate servers.
    I have used the "reposync" command to get the packages from RHN.

    repo id repo name status
    rhel-local Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6Server - x86_64 - local 12,975
    rhel-x86_64-server-6 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6 for 64-bit x86_64) 12,975

    Now when am using "security" plugin from client servers I am not getting any output. Am pointing to my local repository.

    yum --security check-update

    Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, rhnplugin, security, subscription-manager
    This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register.
    This system may not be registered to RHN Classic or RHN Satellite. SystemId could not be acquired.
    You can use rhn_register to register.
    RHN Satellite or RHN Classic support will be disabled.
    Limiting package lists to security relevant ones
    No packages needed for security; 28 packages available

    However when am using security plugin to fetch the update from RHN its working.

    yum --security check-update

    Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, rhnplugin, security, subscription-manager
    This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or RHN Satellite.
    Limiting package lists to security relevant ones
    16 package(s) needed for security, out of 28 available
