centos yum update

I installed the 3 Centos 5.3 servers and and update one server via
yum -y update

This took ~1 hr. Now I want to update remaining two machines as well but don't want to waste time and bandwidth to update them.

How can I point my two servers to get updates i already downloaded and installed on 1st server?

Also at what location it saves these rpms?

Try to go to: /var/cache/yum and then

find . -name "*.rpm" -print

but I believe you'll find all the rpm's in /var/cache/yum/updates/packages, but I'm not 100% sure.

I can confirm that. However I doubt that yum has kept the downloaded files, since the default behaviour is to delete them after the installation. To keep downloaded packages you have to edit the file /etc/yum.conf and in the [main] section add the code:

Code:

keepcache=1

@LinuxLover: following the suggestion above you can keep at least the package from one of the two remaining machines, then update the last one by setting a local update repository.
