  • 1.  Initial DNF Installation

    Posted Tue February 14, 2023 05:14 PM

    Hello!

    I am new to DNF and attempting an initial install on a pretty vanilla test system I just created via an RTE install of AIX 7200-05-03-2148.  I only have the below rpms on it:

    rsync-3.0.6-1.ppc
    AIX-rpm-7.2.5.101-1.ppc

    I was going to first try and just run the install script before destroying the above rpms but I can't get past the below error when trying to do the download:

    # ./dnf_aixtoolbox.sh -d
    Attempting download of dnf_bundle_aix_71_72.tar ...
    lwp-download: 503 Service Unavailable
    Failed to download dnf_bundle_aix_71_72.tar

    It appears to fail trying to access the below website to download the file in your code:

    echo "Attempting download of dnf_bundle_aix_71_72.tar ..."
    /usr/opt/perl5/bin/lwp-download http://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/ezinstall/ppc/dnf_bundle_aix_71_72.tar
    if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]
    then
    echo "Failed to download dnf_bundle_aix_71_72.tar"
    cd - >/dev/null 2>&1
    rm -rf $tmppath

    Not sure how to determine why I can't access your site from the server.  I did manually downloaded  dnf_bundle_aix_71_72.tar file from my desktop and transferred it to the AIX machine, but not clear if I can use it with your script in this fashion as it is trying to do the download and failing at that point. Please Advise.

    Oh my bad!  Turns out it was a firewall issue as it runs fine on a server on a different subnet.
