Problem with linux.dell.com
Hello, we noticed that `repomd.xml` cannot be downloaded when running `dnf update` on the Dell server.
Error:
dnf update
dell-system-update_independent 0.0 B/s | 0 B 00:01
Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'dell-system-update_independent':
- Curl error (35): SSL connect error for https://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/os_independent/repodata/repomd.xml [error:0A0000C6:SSL routines::packet length too long]

The error happens because a firewall, proxy, or security appliance is inspecting and corrupting the SSL/TLS packets to Dell's servers.Quick Fix:
Force DNF to use TLS 1.2 by addingsslversion=tlsv1.2to your Dell repo file:ini# /etc/yum.repos.d/dell-system-update.repo [dell-system-update_independent] ... sslversion=tlsv1.2Then run:dnf clean all && dnf updatewith kind regards Martin/ Liebe Grüße Martin

@Dell-Martin S That doesn't seem to be it. The problem is that "linux.dell.com" is literally not resolving to anything at the moment from what I can tell?(edited)

We are having same issues when trying to dnf update our RHEL 8.10 servers.
