Hi, I have a clean install of OL 7.2 and get the error below. As a DBA with our Sysadmin not available I would appreciate a pointer as most of what I find relates to OL 6.
Regards
Les

One of the configured repositories failed (OFED supporting tool packages for Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel on Oracle Linux 7 (x86_64)),
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. Disable the repository, 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 ol7_UEKR3_OFED20
4. 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=ol7_UEKR3_OFED20.skip_if_unavailable=true
failure: repoata/repomd.xml from ol7_UEKR3_OFED20: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
