Thank you Ayappan,

I downloaded and tried to run the yum.sh, it gives error. i do have 1GB space in /tmp. 
./yum.sh
Please make sure /tmp has 149MB of free space to download rpm.rte & yum_bundle.tar files,
and space required for extracting the rpm packages.

Please advise. 
Thank you.

Below is the code from yum.sh 

typeset -i total_req=`echo "(45+54+50)" | bc`
tmp_free=`df -m /tmp | sed -e /Filesystem/d | awk '{print $3}'`
if [[ $tmp_free -le $total_req ]]
then
echo "Please make sure /tmp has 149MB of free space to download rpm.rte & yum_bundle.tar files,"
echo "and space required for extracting the rpm packages."
exit 1
fi

It could be possible that the presence of /opt/freeware/bin/df will make the above logic wrong. 
You can try this
PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH ./yum.sh

expect is a requirement for running yum.sh. 
expect comes by default in AIX as a lpp package. Probably it is uninstalled here. Please check it out.
