5.4.4. HOWTO Exclude YUM Repositories
By default, SIMP applies updates from all available repositories on a nightly basis. This ensures that bug fixes and security updates are applied to all systems without minute management in Puppet manifests. This section provides guidance on how to include or exclude specific repositories from nightly YUM updates.
5.4.4.1. Methodology
The simp::yum::schedule::repos
and simp::yum::schedule::disable
parameters in the simp-simp
Puppet module control which repositories
are enabled for nightly updating. Both variables must be specified in
array format. simp::yum::schedule::disable
is ignored if
simp::yum::schedule::repos
is not empty.
simp::yum::schedule::repos
is used to specify an array of
repositories from which updates are provided; no other repositories will
be used.
simp::yum::schedule::disable
is used to specify an array of
repositories from which updates are not provided; all other repositories
will be used.
