How do I mount the CentOS 7 ISO and add it as a yum repository
The repo file is already present on your installed CentOS system, as /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo
.
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo
# CentOS-Media.repo
#
# This repo can be used with mounted DVD media, verify the mount point for
# CentOS-7. You can use this repo and yum to install items directly off the
# DVD ISO that we release.
#
# To use this repo, put in your DVD and use it with the other repos too:
# yum --enablerepo=c7-media [command]
#
# or for ONLY the media repo, do this:
#
# yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c7-media [command]
[c7-media]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Media
baseurl=file:///media/CentOS/
file:///media/cdrom/
file:///media/cdrecorder/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=0
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7
Mount the ISO image at one of the given locations, or modify the file appropriately, then enable it as instructed.
Mount the iso
mount -o loop,ro centos7.iso /mnt/centos7-iso
Create this file /etc/yum.repos.d/repo.repo

name=ServerFault Answer
baseurl=file:///mnt/centos7-iso
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
Then check if it worked with
yum list
