Can you share the contents of /etc/yum.repos.d/ibm-power-repo.repo? I'm curious why you only have 1 added repo file and I have 3+.

I actually just completely tore down my PowerVC VM and rebuilt it from scratch, and I'm getting the same results from YUM when checking for updates.

Can you please help clarify the below queries:
What was the initial version of RHEL?
What is the current version of RHEL?
Was this a direct installation of PowerVC 2.0.2.1?
Was there an upgrade performed from a previous release of PowerVC?. If yes, can you please share the upgrade path
What are the contents of /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory?

Running PowerVC 2.0.2.1 on RHEL 8. I found some unusual package information when querying yum/dnf for updates. Can anyone explain to me what is going on here, and how I can correct this?
[###@powervc ~]$ sudo yum check-update
