Registering CentOS endpoints to a repository
You can use the CentOS Custom Repository Management dashboard to add repositories as the package source when patching endpoints.
Before you begin
- Ensure that the repository settings match the repository server configuration.
- Activate the Repository Configuration - CentOS analysis if you have not yet done so.
Procedure
- From the CentOS Custom Repository Management dashboard, click the Endpoints tab.
- Select the endpoints that you want to register to a repository
from the first table. The repositories of the selected endpoints are
listed in the second table.Note: When a repository is named as unspecified, it means that it is not listed in the Repository list of the dashboard.
- Click Register a new repository.
- From the Register a New Repository dialog,
select a repository and click Next.The next window shows the name and the URL of the repository that you are registering your endpoints to.
- Optional: You can add more configuration information
in Additional Fields.Users who have custom repositories that are not just mirrors of the vendor sites must add gpgcheck=0 in Additional Fields. When the gpg signature files are excluded, the rpm files are not checked for authenticity and might cause the installation to fail.
- Click Save. This information is saved in the YUM configuration files.
- From the Take Action dialog, select the computers and click OK to deploy the action.
