In this post, I will by showing how to create a yum local repository on RHEL 6
1) You must be having a RHEL cd with you for creating the YUM
repository
-- Load the physical CD to your CD ROM, In case its a
physical server, Mount the CD into a mount point (/mnt/cdrom)
-- In my case it is a VM so I have an ISO image (Virtual CD),
which is loaded and mounted into a mount point (/mnt/cdrom)
[root@ajithpathiyil_MT1 rhel64]# cd /mnt/cdrom
[root@ajithpathiyil_MT1 cdrom]# ls -ltr

(/mnt/cdrom/Server) to this newly created local directory
[root@ajithpathiyil_MT1 cdrom]# mkdir -p /opt/yum/rhel64
[root@ajithpathiyil_MT1 cdrom]# cd /opt/yum/rhel64
[root@ajithpathiyil_MT1 Server]# cp -a *.rpm /opt/yum/rhel64/
[root@ajithpathiyil_MT1 Server]# uname -a

3) Copy the comps-rhel5-server-core.xml file to your local
directory as (/opt/yum/rhel64/repodata/comps.xml)
[root@ajithpathiyil_MT1 Server]# cd ..
[root@ajithpathiyil_MT1 Server]# cd repodata
[root@ajithpathiyil_MT1 repodata]# mkdir -p
/opt/yum/rhel64/repodata
[root@ajithpathiyil_MT1 repodata]# ls -ltr *comps*xml

[root@ajithpathiyil_MT1 repodata]# cp *comps*xml /opt/yum/rhel64/repodata/comps.xml
4) Install the createrepo-0.4.11-3.el5.noarch rpm if not
installed already.
[root@ajithpathiyil_MT1 repodata]# cd /opt/yum/rhel64/
