Currently installing a few C6320 servers with RHEL7.1 to create an OpenStack demo cluster. Since all servers need almost identical setups I wrote some Expect scripts but unfortunately didn’t put the script runtime timeout high enough. This resulted in the connection to one of the servers being interrupted in the middle of a “yum update -y”.
When trying to run the update again it failed with: “[Errno -1] Package does not match intended download. Suggestion: run yum –enablerepo=rhel-7-server-rpms clean metadata” “Trying other mirror.”
Unfortunately, running the suggested “clean metadata” didn’t fix the problem. Instead, the fix turned out to be a simple “yum clean all” 🙂
