  • The Extended Update Support (EUS) repository

Use the following procedure to enable the default and EUS repositories.

Prerequisites

  • You registered the system to the Red Hat Subscription Management service.
  • You have a valid Red Hat Directory Server subscription in your Red Hat account.

  1. Optional: If you do not have enabled RHEL default BaseOS and AppStream repositories, you must enable these repositories:

    • To enable the default RHEL repositories, run: 

      # subscription-manager repos \
	--enable=rhel-9-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms \
	--enable=rhel-9-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms
Repository 'rhel-9-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms' is enabled for this system.
Repository 'rhel-9-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms' is enabled for this system.

    • To enable the RHEL EUS repositories:

      1. Optional: If you do not have the RHEL EUS release set to the minor version, for example to 9.6, run: 

        # subscription-manager release --set=9.6

      2. Enable the RHEL EUS repositories: 

        # subscription-manager repos \
	--enable=rhel-9-for-x86_64-appstream-eus-rpms \
	--enable=rhel-9-for-x86_64-baseos-eus-rpms
Repository 'rhel-9-for-x86_64-appstream-eus-rpms' is enabled for this system.
Repository 'rhel-9-for-x86_64-baseos-eus-rpms' is enabled for this system.

  2. Enable the Directory Server repository:

    1. To enable the default Directory Server repository, run: 

      # subscription-manager repos --enable=dirsrv-12-for-rhel-9-x86_64-rpms
Repository 'dirsrv-12-for-rhel-9-x86_64-rpms' is enabled for this system.

    2. To enable the Directory Server EUS repository for the, run: 

      # subscription-manager repos --enable=dirsrv-12-for-rhel-9-x86_64-eus-rpms

      Important
      When you enable the Directory Server EUS repository, make sure that you also enabled RHEL EUS repositories.
