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](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
