Hi,

I have an OEL6.4 client and it points to our internal YUM server. When i run yum list command on the client it throws an error given below,

[root@client 6.4]# yum list

Loaded plugins: security

ol6_base                                                 |  982 B     00:00
http://server1/yum/6/Latest/patch/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno -1] Error importing repomd.xml for ol6_UEK_latest: Damaged repomd.xml file
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: ol6_UEK_latest. Please verify its path and try again

Can someone help me in fixing this issue.

AFAIK no version of Solaris, even nevada build 91 uses ZFS for the root file system.

You could use OpenSolaris 200805 which does this but there are some other subtle differences between OpenSolaris and Solaris.

If you are running Solaris 10 U5, you can only have mirroring using svm, plus the root file system must be UFS.
However, you can make a slice in a zfs partition an mirror that (I wouldn't recommend using svm to mirror on
top of ZFS).

Opensolaris 2008.05 does zfs boot, and Nevada could do zfs boot since Build72 ( http://sol10frominnerspace.blogspot.com/2007/09/setup-zfs-boot-for-build-72.html ) - though bits and pieces were
not working o rmissing (like swap in a zvol). The big roll in was on Build94 ( http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/on/flag-days/91-95/ )
so if you get the latest, your chances of running into any issues are lower.

John.
