RHEL 8 Extended Update Support repos
Posted: Mon Feb 28, 2022 10:29 am
I ran into an issue today where the Nagios XI 5.8.6 and 5.8.7 installs do not work on a RHEL 8.4 with Extended Use Support (Long Term Support) enabled. This EUS keeps RHEL on a version that that has extended support and uses packages for those extended support verisons. It also adds the eus into the repo name.
Info about RHEL EUS:
https://access.redhat.com/articles/rhel-eus
In the 0-repos file, it calls:
subscription-manager repos --enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
But the EUS version is
subscription-manager repos --enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-eus-rpms
I have worked around this by adding eus to the repo name in 0-repos, but I wanted to let you know.
