Issue

Creating a Universe in a replicated airgap install fails with the following error

fatal: [<ip address>] FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "Failure talking to yum: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base/7/x86_64"}

Environment

• Yugabyte Platform - 2.4
• GCP

Resolution

A fix for this issue is available in Yugabyte 2.4.6

Workaround:

The issue can be worked around a couple of ways:

- by assigning a public IP during Universe creation time

- by starting with Yugabyte 2.2, creating the universe, then upgrading to 2.4

Root Cause

It's failing to install policycoreutils-python package to manage an SELinux environment during the Universe/Cluster creation time.
