This is an RPM dependency check, rather than checking anything about the system state (such as the contents of /etc/redhat-release). In the past, I've built a dummy rpm with no contents to work around these. I don't think you can do a "--force" on a yum install - so you can't "yum install gpfs.tct.server" unless you do something like that.

Would be great to get it removed from the rpm dependencies if possible.

    Subject: [gpfsug-discuss] TCT and redhat-release-server
    Date: Wed, Jan 4, 2017 2:58 PM

    I’m getting stumped trying to test out TCT on a centos based
    4.2.2.0 cluster and getting the following error when I’m trying to
    install the gpfs.tct.server rpm.

    rpm -ivh --force gpfs.tct.server-1.1.2_987.x86_64.rpm

    error: Failed dependencies:

    redhat-release-server >= 6.0 is needed by gpfs.tct.server-1-1.2.x86_64

    I realize that Centos isn’t “officially” supported but this is
    kind of lame to check for the redhat-release package instead of
    whatever library (ssl) or some such that is installed instead.

    Anyone able to do this or know a workaround?  I did a quick search
    on the wiki and in previous posts on this list and didn’t see
    anything obvious.
