Error: 'rhel-7-fast-datapath-rpms' does not match a valid repository ID.

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Environment

OpenShift Container Platform 3.5

Issue

When enabling 3.5 repos, this error is raised :

Error: 'rhel-7-fast-datapath-rpms' does not match a valid repository ID. Use "subscription-manager repos --list" to see valid repositories.

Resolution

  • Try the following procedure to unsubscribe, reattach, clean, disable and re-enable repositories :
subscription-manager unsubscribe --all
yum clean all
subscription-manager attach --pool=<pool-id>
subscription-manager repos --disable="*"
subscription-manager repos \
--enable="rhel-7-server-ose-3.5-rpms" \
--enable="rhel-7-server-extras-rpms" \
--enable="rhel-7-fast-datapath-rpms"
  • If above procedure does not work, it is possible that a manual refresh of your account can be needed, please contact red hat customer service or open a support ticket.

Root Cause

Starting from OCP 3.5 openvswitch 2.6 is used from rhel-7-fast-datapath repository instead of the former rhel-7-server-ose-3.X-rpms one, sometimes the repository is not available until the system is subscribe/unsubscribe.
