YUM Master Configuration in RHEl 6

YUM master Configuration

Mount the RHEL 6 ISO or DvdConfiguration of Yum Server

STEP 1:

RHEL 6 YUM Configuration is little bit different from RHEL 5

in RHEL 6 we need to install Dependencies packages  for Createrepo package First and then we need to install the createrepo package.
 

STEP 2:

#rpm -ivh vsftpd-2.2.2-6.el6.x86_64.rpm
HERE YOU GET GET THE BELOW ERROR IF U INSTALL CREATEREPO  PACKAGE WITHOUT INSTALLING DEPENDENCIES FIRST

# rpm -ivh createrepo-0.9.8-4.el6.noarch.rpm
warning: createrepo-0.9.8-4.el6.noarch.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID fd431d51: NOKEY
error: Failed dependencies:
        deltarpm is needed by createrepo-0.9.8-4.el6.noarch
        python-deltarpm is needed by createrepo-0.9.8-4.el6.noarch

STEP 3:

Install Below two dependenciey packages first
# rpm -ivh deltarpm-3.5-0.5.20090913git.el6.x86_64.rpm
# rpm -ivh python-deltarpm-3.5-0.5.20090913git.el6.x86_64.rpm

Now Try to install Createrepo package it will install Sucessfully# rpm -ivh createrepo-0.9.8-4.el6.noarch.rpm

 STEP 4:

Copy the Packages from CDROM to /var/ftp/pub folder. The folder will be automatically created once we install the vsftpd Package
[root@server /]# cp -r /mnt/Packages /var/ftp/pub/

STEP 5:

Create a repodata which will be used as a repository of packages for Yum configuration
 

# createrepo -v /var/ftp/pub

Saving Primary metadata
Saving file lists metadata

[root@server Packages]#

STEP 6:
