Thank you. I could resolve the issues, by editing stuff in /etc/yum/pluginconf.d

There, I created a file rhnplugin.conf with the content

[rhel-6-server-extras-rpms] enabled=0

[rhel-6-server-optional-rpms] enabled=0

and I edited the file search-disabled-repos.conf and inserted into the line ignored-repos= ... the pattern rhel*

I do not know whether this second step was necessary, I happened to do both at once. After that, yum upgrade no longer demanded rhel repositories.

I would use yum to uninstall the packages that provide /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo and /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/rhnplugin.conf

On rhel7, these are yum-rhn-plugin and subscription-manager, use rpm to check which packages provide them on el6.

I am trying to migratean existing RHEL 6 machine to Centos 6.

I followed the instructions in https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/MigrationGuide

I run into problems:

when I run

yum upgrade

then yum tries to access a repository rhel-6-server-extras-rpms

and then fails.

What can I do that yum no longer tries to access this repository?

Normally, .repo files are in /etc/yum.repos.d/ .

You should be able to edit files in that directory and find a section for any repos that you wish to disable. Setting enable=0 in the applicable section will turn off that specific repo.

which rpm command does this exactly?

"man 8 rpm" search for "--file"

short: rpm -qf [full-path-and-filename] long: rpm --query --file [full-path-and-filename]

This queries the rpm-database for which package owns the given file.
