Adding Local Repository

If you cannot reach the repository from your target system, you can download the package from a system that can reach https://hpc.lenovo.com/downloads/ and then transfer and install the repositories locally on your target system.

The files are located at https://hpc.lenovo.com/downloads/17a:

#On a system that can reach https://hpc.lenovo.com/downloads/
#Download the package for your specific OS version
#ex: For RHEL , xcat-2.13.0.lenovo1_confluent-1.4.0_lenovo-confluent-0.3-el7.tar.bz2
wget https://hpc.lenovo.com/downloads/17a/xcat-<xcat version>.lenovo1_confluent-<confluent client/server version>_lenovo-confluent-<confluent web ui version>-<osver>.tar.bz2

#On your local system 
#Create folder for the local repository
mkdir /mnt/local_repo

#Extract the repository 
tar -xjvf <name of package> -C /mnt/local_repo

#Create lenovo-hpc.repo to point to the local repository
cd /mnt/local_repo/lenovo-hpc-<osver>/
./mklocalrepo.sh
