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.
