RHEL packages management

Last Updated : Jun 08, 2026 |

The system layer requires additional RHEL packages, which are not available by default. To obtain these packages, you can do one of the following:

  • Subscribe to the Red Hat subscription.

    Avaya recommends this option. For more information about the subscription process, see the Red Hat website https://www.redhat.com.

    Important:

    • If you use the Red Hat Network subscription, you must enable additional RPMs from the RHEL CLI as described in Enabling required RHEL repositories.

    • For AWS software-only deployments, if you use the Red Hat Network subscription, you must assign a public IP address to each of your AWS instances using the AWS Elastic IP service.

    • For Microsoft Azure software-only deployments, if you use the Red Hat Network subscription, you must assign a public IP address to each of your Microsoft Azure instances using the Microsoft Azure Static IP service.

    • For Google Cloud Platform software-only deployments, if you use the Red Hat Network subscription, you must assign a public IP address to each of your Microsoft Azure instances. You can assign either static or dynamic public IP addresses.

  • Create a local repository for RPM installation or updates.
