Dell OMSA Hardware repositiory timeout errors

[Tracey Flanders]

Thanks for replying.


I tried the following
yum clean all
yum install srvadmin-all -y --disableplugin=fastestmirror

Same errors.

So I decided to try a workaround.  I went to http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/system.ven_0x1028.dev_0x016d/rh50/srvadmin/  and downloaded all the rpms and copied them the to yum cache directory /var/cache/yum/dell-hardware-auto/packages.  The ran yum install srvadmin-all -y. It finished successfully. It's strange how I can download the correct rpms but the repo doesnt work correctly. This will have to do for now.
