Whenever I am doing yum update
, I get automatically upgraded to the latest version.
I need to stick with one version of CentOS (i.e 7.3).
Also tried on yum --releasever=7.3 update
and I am getting below error but able to do yum update
.
[root@myvm ~]# yum --releasever=7.3 update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager
One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown),
and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:
1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.
2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
packages for the previous distribution release still work).
3. Run the command with the repository temporarily disabled
yum --disablerepo=<repoid> ...
4. Disable the repository permanently, so yum won't use it by default. Yum
will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it
again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage:
yum-config-manager --disable <repoid>
or
subscription-manager repos --disable=<repoid>
5. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
compromise:
yum-config-manager --save --setopt=<repoid>.skip_if_unavailable=true
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base/7.3/x86_64

Edit the
/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
to point tovault.centos.org
.In each enabled repository section change the
baseurl
, for example to:and comment out, or simply remove, the
mirrorlist
directive in each stanza in which you alter thebaseurl
.This works similarly for the
extras
,centosplus
andfasttrack
repositories.
