:( I am trying to use the XI installer but it complains about yum dependencies that are already present.

Code: Select all

nagiosxi]# ./fullinstall
========================
Nagios XI Full Installer
========================

This script will do a complete install of Nagios XI by executing all necessary
sub-scripts.

IMPORTANT: This script should only be used on a 'clean' install of CentOS or
RedHat. Do NOT use this on a system that has been tasked with other purposes
or has an existing install of Nagios Core. To create such a clean install you
should have selected ONLY the 'Base' package in the OS installer.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y

ERROR: Please add the 'Optional' channel to your Red Hat systems subscriptions.
       You can do so in the Redhat Network web interface or using the rhn-channel command.
       or, install the yum-utils package and use the following command:
       yum-config-manager --enable rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
RESULT=1

INSTALLATION ERROR!

Installation step failed - exiting.
Check for error messages in the install log (install.log).

If you require assistance in resolving the issue, please include install.log
in your communications with Nagios XI technical support.

The script that failed was: './0-repos'

This is actually the core problem:

Code: Select all

ERROR: Please add the 'Optional' channel to your Red Hat systems subscriptions.
       You can do so in the Redhat Network web interface or using the rhn-channel command.
       or, install the yum-utils package and use the following command:
       yum-config-manager --enable rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
You will need to take care of this or have whoever manages the RedHat machines for your org add the "Optional" channel in so you can access certain packages that Nagios XI requires.
