The closest thing to urpmi on RedHat systems is 'up2date'. You can, for
example, install a package with 'up2date httpd'. I'm not certain if it
exists for 7.3, but I *think* it is.

This is not free though, since it requires a $60/year subscription to the
RedHat Network. Well, you can get a demo license for one computer but some
updates may fail when the servers are very busy.
