UiPath HAA Installation Errors: Failed to download metadata for repo

My UiPath High Availability Add-on installation is failing due to connection timeouts while downloading the required repos.

The install.sh script stops prematurely and outputs one or all of the following errors (or similar for RHEL 7-9):

  • Errors during downloading metadata for repository rhel-8-for-x86_64-highavailability-rpms:
  • Curl error (28): Timeout was reached for http://172.26.32.6/rhel-8-for-x86_64-highavailability-rpms/repodata/repomd.xml [Connection timed out after 30000 milliseconds]
  • Error: Failed to download metadata for repo rhel-8-for-x86_64-highavailability-rpms: Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried

Running the command dnf info rhel-8-for-x86_64-highavailability-rpms returns the same error.

Please consult with your internal Red Hat / Linux admins to ensure that the package server can be reached (and if internal, that the specified packages are available).
