[CentOS] copying to a local mirror / repository

2015-10-14 Thread Richer, Mark (CIV)
I am using CentOS on a private network which can’t access the Internet so I want to create a local repository of packages on one or more DVDs, and get it installed on the private network. Someone had done this for CentOS 7, but not for CentOS 6. I have a VM running 6 so I am trying to create it

I know folks have different opinions about Network Manager, but while researching how to change the name of a NIC without rebooting, I also came across the following page from RedHat that I’ll share as I find it’s very clear and concise explanations on how these services interact on CentOS/RHEL

All, I am trying to understand better how you give an interface a more descriptive name and get it all working without a reboot, if possible. We have 1G and 10G interfaces, and I’m trying to use names like 1G-internal, 1G-external, 10G-private, etc. When I boot up, it’s all fine, but if I add

Generally it's better to connect the bare metal drive to an internal SATA connection to run smartctl. If the short test results are good, run. The long test. There are versions of smartctl for various OSes but you can also boot from any optical or USB media that has smartctl on it or can be
