Question about configuration for AIX Toolbox repository

  • 1.  Question about configuration for AIX Toolbox repository

    Posted Fri March 17, 2023 11:28 AM

    Hi,

    I am wondering what's the difference between the following methods to configure local AIX Toolbox repository. As per my understanding, the #1 will leave repository packages under /mnt permanently, while with the #2, the packages will be only there as long as the iso image is mounted. If we go with #2 and somehow unmount the iso, the repository won't be available. Can someone please confirm?

            # gzip -dc aix_linux_toolbox_*.tar.gz | tar xf - -C /mnt                       

            or

            # loopmount -i aix_linux_toolbox_*.iso -o "-V udfs -o ro" -m /mnt

    Thanks

    Mi
