Hi Mukarram,

The Bootstrap script will do all that you described:
http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/bootstrap.cgi

First a cgi script is run:
http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/_tools/bootstrap.cgi
that configures the bootstrap.sh:
http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/_tools/bootstrap.sh
depending on the URL of your server. So, if you rsync the whole repo to your 
local http server, everything will work, without configuration.

You'll want to rsync from:

rsync://linux.dell.com/repo

be sure to use the -H option to save space on your server.

Another thing to watch out for are the .htaccess files. Be sure to allow 
overrides in your http server configuration.

Subject: Dell OMSA yum repository setup help

Hi folks,
I have a yum repository server configured which has an external connection to 
linux.dell.com.  We are using this server as a Yum repository server for Oracle 
Enterprise Linux.
I'd like to have our clients connect to this server and install/upgrade the 
OMSA and firmware RPMs.
I'd like to know how to configure the server to automatically download rpms 
from linux.dell.com  and how to configure the client's 
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file and the /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo file to get the 
clients get the rpms from the server?
I have referred to the document http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/ 
which shows me how to configure if you have an direct link to linux.dell.com 
but not through another server.

Appreciate the help.

Thanks
