CentOS - Jul 2017 - Problems switching from RHEL 6 to Centos 6

I am trying to migratean existing RHEL 6 machine to Centos 6.

I followed the instructions in https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/MigrationGuide

I run into problems:

when I run

yum upgrade

then yum tries to access a repository rhel-6-server-extras-rpms

and then fails.

What can I do that yum no longer tries to access this repository?

Normally, .repo files are in /etc/yum.repos.d/ .

You should be able to edit files in that directory and find a section
for any repos that you wish to disable.  Setting enable=0 in the
applicable section will turn off that specific repo.

Thank you. I could resolve the issues, by editing stuff in 
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d

There, I created a file rhnplugin.conf with the content

[rhel-6-server-extras-rpms]
enabled=0

[rhel-6-server-optional-rpms]
enabled=0

and I edited the file search-disabled-repos.conf and inserted into the line
ignored-repos= ... the pattern rhel*

I do not know whether this second step was necessary, I happened to do 
both at once.
After that, yum upgrade no longer demanded rhel repositories.
