Hi

We have successfully installed DNF using ESD-Toolbox_for_Linux_Apps_Common_7.1-7.3_112023_LKT010326.tar.gz and updated all listed rpms etc.

Will a new ESD-Toolbox be issued along with the latest SP

The customer would like all the rpms listed on the systems to be updated through DNF which should be rolled out quarterly for example 

What should be the process so that all the latest rpms and pre reqs are downloaded and added to DNF repositories.

thanks

Hi Brian,

The plan is to update the toolbox media once in 6 months.

You can expect the updated ESD-Toolbox be issued along with the latest SP.

hi

I have downloaded the latest toolbox . My issue is the following  on how to update as after the last install we have the following directories still listed.

Do we leave these directories in place before extracting the new toolbox

CONTENTS.toolbox
contrib
docs
ESD-Toolbox_for_Linux_Apps_Common_7.1-7.3_112023_LKT010326.tar.gz
ezinstall
installp
LICENSES
lost+found
README.toolbox
RPMS
RPMS.bygroup
SRPMS
usr

When we run the extract /mnt/ezinstall/ppc/dnf_aixtoolbox_local.sh /mnt does this just copy new files to the repository and install any as required.

would we then run dnf update at this point to update all the latest issued rpms

Hi Brian,

You can unmount /mnt and  just mount the latest media image with existing mount point(/mnt) you are using.

This will have the latest toolbox media images at the same path without effecting your existing DNF setup.

hi Sangamesh

quick question before i update dnf repository.

Even if DNF already installed do you have to run the ezinstall command every time you have downloaded the latest toolbox  or do you just change the DNF conf to point to the new toolbox directories

thanks in advance

Brian
