yum repo Error installing packages from CentOS 7 DVD

I am trying to install dhcpd package from CentOS 7 DVD using yum install. (No internet connection)

yum is trying to look for the package in online repos and I am getting this error:

[root@otg yum.repos.d]# yum install dhcp
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=7&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=stock error was
14: curl#7 - "Failed to connect to 2607:f8f8:700:12::10: Network is unreachable"

Trying other mirror.

How do I add DVD as a repo for yum?

Best Answer by mamdouh 6 years ago

Disable online repos and enable only the local DVD repo and do the yum install.

yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c7-media install <packagename>

To enable the repo edit /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo

and change enabled=1

hi,

Your media repo may not be enabled. run the command yum repolist which should show all the repos that are enabled.

Here is a sample output.. you should see c7-media in the list if the dvd repo is enabled.

# yum repolist
repo id               repo name                                           status

c7-media              CentOS-7 - Media                                         0

Check if there is a file called /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo if not create it.

[c7-media]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Media
baseurl=file:///media/CentOS/
        file:///media/cdrom/
        file:///media/cdrecorder/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=0
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7
