# CentOS Mirror managements SOP
0591d7
0591d7
Depending on the CentOS version, (8-stream, 7 or 9-stream), yum/dnf repositories on client machines are configured to either use `mirrorlist.centos.org` or `mirrors.centos.org`. 
0591d7
`mirrors.centos.org` is an alias to mirrors.fedoraproject.org and so is a MirrorManager instance hosted by Fedora infra team. Let's see which process to follow when we get a ticket  (see [Howto on the wiki](https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreatePublicMirrors) ) to add/remove/modify a mirror entry in corresponding DB.

0591d7

    * add the `CentOS` category and then add the URLs

### Adding new mirror
0591d7
To help with these steps, there is a simple wrapper/helper script on the machine behind https://mirror-status.centos.org.
0591d7
It will run some pre-flights checks and output the SQL statements to copy/paste into mysql to add the new mirror in mirmon DB.
0591d7
0591d7
The process to launch, when one has a shell on the mirmon node, is `/var/lib/centos-mirrors/mirror-geo-check.py`
0591d7
Follow the steps and then copy/paste mysql statement into mysql (against mirmon database)
