  One of the configured repositories failed (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server - Optional (RPMs)),
  and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
  safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:
  
   1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.
  
   2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
      upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
      distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
      packages for the previous distribution release still work).
  
   3. Run the command with the repository temporarily disabled
          yum --disablerepo=rhel-7-server-optional-rpms ...
  
   4. Disable the repository permanently, so yum won't use it by default. Yum
      will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it
      again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage:
  
          yum-config-manager --disable rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
      or
          subscription-manager repos --disable=rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
  
   5. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
      Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
      so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
      slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
      compromise:
  
          yum-config-manager --save --setopt=rhel-7-server-optional-rpms.skip_if_unavailable=true
  
  failure: repodata/repomd.xml from rhel-7-server-optional-rpms: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
