    In this article, we will share the types of update alerts that you might receive, their severity and how you can solve them.

    Solution

    Please check the following table:

    Check access to the update repositories:

    1. Go to the node on which check for updates failed
    2. Ensure that hci-base and hci-updates repositories are enabled and mirrorlist URL matches current release. Example of that:

      # cat /etc/hci-release  
      Acronis Cyber Infrastructure 4.7.0 (230)

      # grep -P "^(mirrorlist|enabled)" /etc/yum.repos.d/hci.repo
      mirrorlist=http://download.acronis.com/vstorage/mirrorlists/4.7/releases-os.mirrorlist
      enabled=1
      mirrorlist=http://download.acronis.com/vstorage/mirrorlists/4.7/releases-updates.mirrorlist
      enabled=1

    3. Disable third-party repositories. There should be only two enabled repositories: hci-base and hci-updates. Example of command and outcome:                                                                                                                      # yum -q repolist enabled 
      repo id  repo name status
      hci-base Infrastructure Platform Base Repo  3,804
      hci-updates Infrastructure Platform Base Repo  3,804
    4. Check access to the repositories:
      # yum clean all; yum repoinfo hci-base
    5. Try to get content of mirrorlists. Example:
      # curl -L http://download.acronis.com/vstorage/mirrorlists/4.7/releases-os.mirrorlist
