    IMPORTANT
    To access the Data Fabric internet repository, you must specify the user name (email) and token of an HPE account. For more information, see Setting up the Data Fabric Repository.

    NOTE
    For RHEL versions 8 and earlier, the hpe-datafabric repository URL ends in /redhat; for RHEL version 9, the hpe-datafabric repository ends in /rhel9. The hpe-datafabric-ecosystem repository URL for all RHEL versions, including RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, ends in /redhat.
  3. If your connection to the Internet is through a proxy server, you must set the http_proxy environment variable before installation: You should also set the value for the http_proxy environment variable by adding the following section to the /etc/yum.conf file: 
    http_proxy=http://<host>:<port>
export http_proxy
    proxy=http://<host>:<port>
