    ]

Resolution

1. Delete all repo files under "/etc/yum.repos.d/"  
   
     rm -f /etc/yum.repos.d/
   
   
2. Copy repo files from "/usr/local/airgap/backup_repo.20241202052148" to "/etc/yum.repos.d/" and run "tdnf makecache" 

 cp /usr/local/airgap/backup_repo.20241202052148/* /etc/yum.repos.d/
 tdnf makecache 
   
   
3. Identify the readyz values and change the photon reposync status to false in the below files.
   
   

   Files need to be changed: 
    
     "/photon-reps/readyz/index.yaml"

     "/photon-reps/readyz/templates/005Photon" yaml files

 "/photon-reps/readyz/3.2.0-24287523/005Photon" yaml files

4. Rerun "agctl sync" to sync photon repos again
