Create a mirror repository
For Ubuntu or Oracle Linux (OL, also known as OEL), set up a local mirror repository (optional).
This section describes how to set up a local repository. This is necessary for scenarios when connecting all SDC/RFcache (RF) nodes to the PowerFlex repository is not possible, perhaps due to security considerations or other limitations.
A common workflow would be to configure your mirror repository to synchronize with the PowerFlex repository, while your SDC/RF nodes will fetch drivers (synchronize) from the mirror repository.
