Switch from local AIX Toolbox repo to online repo

  • 1.  Switch from local AIX Toolbox repo to online repo

    Posted Mon September 11, 2023 11:14 AM

    Hi AIX Expert,

    I need to switch from using local AIX Toolbox repo to perform online update. should I replace all "file:///mnt/RPMS" with "https://anonymous:anonymous@public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS" in the dnf.conf file? Also I am wondering if the online update uses ftp protocol, or the http / https protocol?

    Thanks

    Mi

    First please verify your AIX system can access public.dhe.ibm.com
    You should use https protocol

    Here is how AIX 73 repo looks like in dnf.conf file

    [AIX_Toolbox]

    name=AIX generic repository

    baseurl=https://anonymous:anonymous@public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/

    enabled=1

    gpgcheck=0

     

    [AIX_Toolbox_noarch]

    name=AIX noarch repository

    baseurl=https://anonymous:anonymous@public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/noarch/

    enabled=1

    gpgcheck=0

     

    [AIX_Toolbox_73]

    name=AIX 7.3 specific repository

    baseurl=https://anonymous:anonymous@public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc-7.3/

    enabled=1

    gpgcheck=0

     

    Thanks,
