Dear Team,

I would like to install YUM on AIX so my steps are:

Step 1 - install AIX rpm.rte - ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/INSTALLP/ppc/
Step 2 - install yum bundle - ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/ezinstall/ppc/
Step 3 - configure proxy for yum
Step 4 - update yum thorough the proxy

Tried to export proxy variable: http_proxy="http://yum-user:qwerty@mycache.mydomain.com:3128"; export http_proxy;

Tried to export different ways:

export http_proxy=http://host.com:port/
export ftp_proxy=http://host.com:port/
export no_proxy=.domain.com
export HTTP_PROXY=http://host.com:port/
export FTP_PROXY=http://host.com:port/

I tried to edit yum.conf main section like on this page: https://www.djouxtech.net/posts/aix-yum-installation/

Maybe yum needs an additional python component, or use pythong-curl better ?

According to the latest info provided by you below , i see the problem is with curl. 

[  root@nimtest10:/home/root: ] yum repolist -d 10          

Config time: 0.024 
Yum Version: 3.4.3 
COMMAND: yum repolist -d 10

Trying other mirror. 
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: AIX_Toolbox. Please verify its path and try again 
[  root@nimtest10:/home/root: ]

[  root@nimtest10:/home/root: ] host public.dhe.ibm.com 
public.dhe.ibm.com is 9.17.248.112 
[  root@nimtest10:/home/root: ] 

We need to figure out what curl command is getting invoked in this case and try running it manually to find out the exact cause.
