Missing Yum Repository Links

[John Landis]

The targeted RedHat servers are locked into RedHat version 7.3 while prioritizing and planning an upgrade. We are unable to install Percona tools without some manual edits to the yum repo provided as the urls for 7.3/7.4 are missing. Urls with 7 or 7Server do exist.

Here is the exact error message we are seeing.

 One of the configured repositories failed (Percona-Release YUM repository - noarch),
 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=percona-release-noarch ...

     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 percona-release-noarch
        or
            subscription-manager repos --disable=percona-release-noarch

     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=percona-release-noarch.skip_if_unavailable=true

failure: repodata/repomd.xml from percona-release-noarch: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
