dnf_aixtoolbox.sh needs some configuration or not?

  • 1.  dnf_aixtoolbox.sh needs some configuration or not?

    Posted Wed August 27, 2025 10:22 AM

    My machine was re-installed to:

    > oslevel -s
    7300-03-02-2546

    with the latest dnf_aixtoolbox.sh, i ran into:

    > ./dnf_aixtoolbox.sh -y
    Attempting download of dnf_bundle_aix_73.tar ...
    lwp-download: 500 Can't connect to public.dhe.ibm.com:443 (Hostname and service name not provided or found)
    Failed to download dnf_bundle_aix_73.tar

    public.dhe.ibm.com sounds to me out of dated.  so, i figured it may need some configuration somewhere.

    Hi,

    You may require a proxy environment set up if your organization uses a proxy.

    Add this to your /etc/profile

    export no_proxy="localhost,127.0.0.1,172.16.0.0/12,10.0.0.0/8,192.168.0.0/16,.mycompany.net"
    export http_proxy="proxy.mycompany.net:3128"
    export https_proxy="proxy.mycompany.net.net:3128"
    export ftp_proxy="proxy.mycompany.net.net:3128"
