In reply to Edwin Dy. Nevermind. I remounted the DVD/ISO and now it works.

I got this error. This process works before RHEL 8.

[root@PXE2 yum.repos.d]# yum repolist
repo id repo name
InstallMedia-AppStream Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2.0 – AppStream
InstallMedia-BaseOS Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2.0 – BaseOS

[root@PXE2 yum.repos.d]# yum list
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2.0 – BaseOS 0.0 B/s | 0 B 00:00
Error: Failed to download metadata for repo ‘InstallMedia-BaseOS’: repomd.xml parser error: Parse error at line: 1 (Extra content at the end of the document

In reply to jimmy ksal. Hi Jimmy, First i will check whether i can reach to repository on 80 port and also check whether required network settings are configured or not. I would also recommend use dnf command instead of yum.

Hi,
I recently failed in RHCSA 8 exam, one of the questions I could’t figure out was the repo.
here is my story, the URL to the repo was given. for example lets say ‘http://baserepo.com/baseos’
This is what I did:
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/baseos.repo
[baseos]
name=Base OS RHEL 8
baseurl=http://baserepo.com/baseos
enabled=1

once I saved the file, I ran this ” yum clean all”. when I used “yum repolist” both repositories I configured were listing as normal.
however when I used ” yum install vdo” nothing happened. I was given an error message I can’t remember. any idea what could be the issue?

Thank you for your time.

Your post here is very complete from .iso or DVD. We only used pieces since this wasn’t our task, but the pieces were very helpful. We had installed the latest Oracle database with unsupported product versions, and we had used two Oracle Linux repos to get the pieces we needed. After the installation one was disabled, the other left active, and it was causing problem that even Google had never recorded. No hits on the errors, not even on a Russian site. Your post here put the whole process into focus so we could fix our problem.

Thank you.
