What is actually going on with the Dell software repositories? Yesterday, linux.dell.com was down completely, and now the DNF repos are Forbidden.
A few weeks back it was this: https://www.dell.com/community/en/conversations/systems-management-general/racadm-missing-from-latest-linux-repo/67530fd3a9a6071a45ae51e6
It's a huge inconvenience and interruption to our workflow when the software repos go offline.

linux.dell.com also appears to be pointing to the default Apache install page...not helpful. Hopefully it's being set back up.

I just wanted to add my two cents in, as this is impacting our organization as well. Hoping someone is laying eyes on it, I feel like too often these repos go ignored and stay broken for too long before someone gives them attention.

We ran into the same issue on our side as well. It would really help if Dell provided official notices or status updates when there are outages or maintenance work. It’s a bit frustrating to waste time troubleshooting something that's actually on the server end.

Honestly, Dell really needs to reconsider how they monitor and maintain their Linux repositories. Outages like this aren’t just an inconvenience — they can seriously disrupt system administration workflows. Scheduled update jobs fail, deployment pipelines break, and scripts that rely on repo availability start throwing errors. It's especially frustrating when there's no official communication or status page to refer to. For enterprise environments, this level of unreliability just isn't acceptable.

Hello, for those experiencing the same- we strongly encourage that you raise an official ticket to Dell with your service tag. This could be an individual issue, region specific and etc. With a case open, Dell can also know where the actual issue is. https://www.dell.com/support/incidents-online/en-uk/contactus/Dynamic?msockid=02eec40b193f61d40967d131182a6092
