first you need NIM server at 71 or higher to migrate AIX 61 server. AIX 7.1 will have end of support April 30 2023 last fix pack for AIX 7.1 will be made this year.
on NIM Server you can add yum dnf pkg in NIM and it will be installed.
Find the "lpp name":
# installp -qld [location of the 3rd party software].
Update the lpp_source:
# nim -o update -a source=[location of the 3rd party software] -a packages=[lpp name] [lpp_source name]
Add the lpp name to spot:
# nim -o cust -a filesets=<3rd party lpp name> -a lpp_source=[lpp_source name] [spot name]

Subject: AIX 6100 - Yum/dnf to install rsync
Hello all.
I am looking at migrating some AIX6100 servers to AIX7100 via NIMADM.
Question: Is the dnf/yum bundles can be installed on AIX6100 I know these bundles are specifically made AIX71 and later.
I would like to install some open source packages like rsync in the servers. Just wondering if it can setup to use dnf/yum. I am trying to avoid manual installation.
Any tips would be highly appreciated.
Regards
Sasi
