4.6. Configure the local repositories

If your cluster does not have access to the Internet, or you are creating a large cluster and you want to conserve bandwidth, you need to provide access to the HDP installation packages using an alternative method. For more information, see Deploying HDP In Production Data Centers.

[Important]Important

The installer pulls many packages from the base OS repos. If you do not have a complete base OS available to all your machines at the time of installation, you may run into issues. For example, if you are using RHEL 6 your hosts must be able to access the “Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6 Optional (RPMs)” repo. If this repo is disabled, the installation is unable to access the rubygems package, which is necessary for HMC to operate. If you encounter problems with base OS repos being unavailable, please contact your system administrator to arrange for these additional repos to be proxied or mirrored.
