It’s trying to install from a DVD, I guess? Get rid of that repo, if you don’t have local repositories (i.e. a DVD iso mounted). It’ll be configured somewhere in your /etc/yum.repos.d.

It never makes sense to use local repos. You always want to fetch the latest from the online repositories, so there is no harm in disabling any local repos.

No DVD, Its say >>> ```

It is clearly reading a file. The media directory is where DVDs and USB sticks and such get mounted by default in CentOS and Fedora. I’m not gonna argue with you about it; I’ve told you what it is and how to fix it.

there no DVD/CD Etc drive attached or USB stick plugged in on the rack server, the command was ran to download from a Mirror. I have now tried to download other components via Mirror getting Curl 37 on them as well. Now if your saying its try read from Media drive. Then what caused that happen?

The error messages are clear about what is happening. I’ve told you how to fix it. I don’t understand why you’re still arguing about what’s happening? If you don’t want to take advice, why ask?

I don’t care if you have a physical DVD/CD drive. That’s irrelevant. It could have been an ISO mounted in /media as I mentioned above.
