RHEL配置Centos yum源的方法
由于RHEL的yum在线更新是收费的，如果没有注册的话是不能使用的，即不能在线安装软件。在这种情况下，如果我们使用的机器安装的是RHEL系统要是每次安装软件先挂载本地光盘会很繁琐，而且有些软件也是老版本的，这种情况下我们可以借助CentOS的YUM源来满足我们的需求。
一、删除RHEL原有的YUM
rpm -aq|grep yum|xargs rpm -e --nodeps
二、下载CentOS的yum安装包（163源）
wget http://mirrors.163.com/centos/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/yum-3.2.22-40.el5.centos.noarch.rpm
wget http://mirrors.163.com/centos/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/yum-fastestmirror-1.1.16-21.el5.centos.noarch.rpm
wget http://mirrors.163.com/centos/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-4.el5.x86_64.rpm
wget http://mirrors.163.com/centos/5/os/x86_64/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5
三、安装CentOS的YUM安装包
yum和yum-plugin-fastestmirror需要一起安装，这两个包存在依赖关系，分开安装会失败，安装之前先把RPM-GPG-KEY导入系统，否则会出现警告信息
rpm -ivh yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-4.el5.x86_64.rpm
rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5
rpm –ivh yum-3.2.22-40.el5.centos.noarch.rpm yum-fastestmirror-1.1.16-21.el5.centos.noarch.rm
至此我们就可以在线使用yum了
四、修改yum源
为了使用在线使用Yum安装软件更快，我们可以使用国内的网易Yum源或者其他国内yum源
五、更改yum源
#我们使用网易的CentOS镜像源
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
vi rhel-debuginfo.repo
# CentOS-Base.repo
#
# The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the
# update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and
# geographically close to the client. You should use this for CentOS updates
# unless you are manually picking other mirrors.
#
# If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall back you can try the
# remarked out baseurl= line instead.
#

六、清理
yum clean all
yum makecache
七、更新
yum update
