yum module to skip checking the yum repositories

[Veera]

Hi,

I have the below snippet , which installs the local package . However in servers which have not subscribed to  satellite/Redhat , the  playbook hungs as it continue to search for the  repositories in the backgroud.

- name: Installing the  local rpm rpm packages in the server
    yum:
      name: /tmp/XXXX-2.3.2.2105-1.x86_64.rpm
      state: present
      disable_gpg_check: yes
    ignore_errors: true
    register: result_t1
    tags: install_localpackage

In yum module , there is no exact option to skip looking  into  the yum  repositories or cache , to override this step.  

Is there any  option available in yum to skip looking into yum or have to write a bash script with "rpm -i " to replace it ?

Attempting to grok this, so you want to install an RPM on a system that has no repos configured.

Maybe try cacheonly as mentioned on https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/yum_module.html

I do not have an RPM based system here to test on. You could use the RPM command line or use the disable_plugin as I suspect fastestmirrors is getting called. I would maybe also try disabling install_repoquery. Yellowdog is designed to check repos, that is the main goal of it.

Thanks ,, I already checked the link and    disable_plugin . Both are not helpful .

I will have to use  command/shell -  module to call rpm  to install the  local package
