I can now see the images on the ESS site, so that makes life a lot easier.
I used dnf instead of yum but the end result was the same - but having the ISO image has also saved all of the steps required to create a local repository.

The download server used by ESS was having problems. I was able to select both toolbox files and start the download just now.

Is ESD-Toolbox_for_Linux_Apps_Common_7.1-7.3_122022_LKT010325.tar going to be available again? If not, can I get the name and url of the new AIX Toolbox for AIX file to download from? Thx.

Yep, I can say it is not an entitlement problem. There is an outage coming up between Nov. 3 to 6, so maybe it is related to that. I will contact the site admins.

Hi,
I'm not sure if it is an entitlement thing, or an error on the IBM support site, but I am trying to download the ISO (or tar file) of the AIX Toolbox so that I can install it on a machine with no internet access.
I can see the Toolbox in my list of Entitled Software, but when attempting to download using either Download Director or HTTPs, it comes back with a 404 error and says the file isn't there. The documentation for it is fine however.
Is this something that other people are seeing as well? And is a known packaging bug, or is it no longer available through ESS or Passport Advantage?
Cheers
Andrew
