From peers working with CentOS on Power8,
/"I am trying to install OPAL-PRD on cent-os. Do you know where to get opal-prd package ?"/
Presently opal-prd is not available in the CentOS repos or in EPEL, but is expected in a future release of RHEL.
In the meantime, it is possible to build the rpm from source and install on CentOS.
Latest source rpm : https://hegdevasant.fedorapeople.org/opal-prd/v5/opal-prd-5.1.13-1.fc22.src....
Thanks to Vasant Hegde for pointer to files.

First question would be : what's the purpose of that package ? As it's not in the upstream distro (yet), even if it's built, it will not enter into the base/os nor updates repository. At the best, I'd say extras, and then removed when the real package/version/release will appear upstream.

This contains 3 packages; - opal-prd : provides a daemon to load and run the OpenPower firmware's Processor Recovery Diagnostics binary. This is responsible for run time maintenance of OpenPower Systems hardware. Installed by default on OpenPower system.
- opal-utils : Contains utility programs (like gard, pflash etc). Mostly for developer use. This will not be installed by default.
- opal-firmware : Contains skiboot.lid ..which can be used with qemu This will not be installed by default.

It's available in upstream skiboot repo [1], but not available in RHEL 7.2. We have this package in our yumrepo for RHEL 7.2 [2]

We're not sure what you mean.
Are you referring to RHEL here -or- upstream source ? If it's RHEL, then we hope this package will be included in the future, RHEL 7.3.

Yes, that was my initial thought as well. Let's wait for James and/or Thierry to jump in that thread to have their opinion.

Yes, we can build it for c7 ppc64le/ppc64 and put it in Extras
http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7.2.1511/extras/ppc64le/Packages/ http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7.2.1511/extras/ppc64/Packages/
It would be nice to see opal-prd in Fedora ppc koji if it’s going to find its way into RHEL 7.3
