YUM-Repositories können entweder lokal (Zugriff über loales Dateisystem) oder remote (Zugriff über FTP, HTTP oder HTTPS) zur Verfügung stehen. Damit ein YUM-Repository auch von YUM verwendet werden kann, muss dieses in der Konfiguration von YUM hinterlegt sein.

Zum Anlegen von lokalen YUM-Repositories wird das Kommando createrepo aus dem gleichnamigen RPM-Paket benötigt. Für die Administration von YUM-Repositories gibt es Kommandos die über das RPM-Paket yum-utils zur Verfügung stehen. Beide RPM-Pakete sollten daher zumindest auf Systemen mit lokalen YUM-Repositories installiert sein (z.B. NIM-Server):

aixnim # yum install createrepo yum-utils
