Download CentOS 6.5 x8664 and x86 ISO CentOS 6.5 has just been released on 1st December 2013. CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public. It has 100% binary compatibility with its upstream source, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Red Hat Enterprise Linux a trusted platform for your business, and RHEL 8 continues to build on this tradition. Features like System Wide Encryption Policy, Nftables/firewalld, and Red Hat Insights mean less effort and time spent managing and configuring services, without compromising security needs.
A yum repository (or “repo” for short) is a collection of RPMs in a single location, for example, on a web site or in a directory on a DVD. In RHEL 6.0 Snapshot 12 there are 5 repositories:
1. HighAvailability
2. LoadBalancer
3. ResilientStorage
4. ScalableFileSystem
5. Server
1. HighAvailability
2. LoadBalancer
3. ResilientStorage
4. ScalableFileSystem
5. Server
The Server repo is the main repo with the usual packages (httpd, glibc, bash, coreutils, etc). The other 4 are specialty add-on repos for packages; for example, to help with a Load Balancing web server.

There may be cases when you can not update the server using a satellite server or have a secure environment that will never be connected to the Internet but still needs to be updated. Well, there is a way out. You can locally mount the RHEL 6 DVD ISO and use it as your yum repository.

4. In the end, the new repo file could look like the following (though the media-id will be different depending on the version of RHEL):

How to add optional repositories
To configure access to the supplementary packages in the directories HighAvailability, LoadBalancer, ResilientStorage, and ScalableFileSystem, add additional repositories for them in the same file, e.g.:
Note: If using the above example repos, ensure the value of mediaid is the same as the value from the original media.repo file.
