3. Description:

In accordance with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Errata Support Policy,
Extended Update Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 was retired on
March 31, 2017, and active support is no longer provided.  Accordingly, Red
Hat will no longer provide updated packages, including Critical Impact
security patches or Urgent Priority bug fixes, for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
7.1 EUS after March 31, 2017.  In addition, on-going technical support
through Red Hat's Customer Experience and Engagement will be limited as

We encourage customers to migrate from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 to a
