Full Discussion: rsync in AIX
Operating Systems AIX rsync in AIX Post 302508841 by sboots on Tuesday 29th of March 2011 08:37:30 AM

Install the following rpm's (These are for AIX 6.1 so if they are not the same for 5.3, then just try to install rsync. It will tell you the dependencies that your missing and just grab them and install them).

gcc
gcc-cplusplus
libgcc
libstdcplusplus
libstdcplusplus-devel
rsync

You can download them from:
IBM AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications - Alphabetical Listing

Then a simple rsync command would be:

Code:
rsync -avz --delete-after /home/* user@system:/home/

There are several other switches to rsync that you can use, so you can check out the help screen by typing
Code:
rsync -h

once you have it installed. But this one should work for a basic rsync. It will also clean up any files on the target system that are not on the source system when it is done syncing. If you dont want that to happen then just leave out the
Code:
--delete-after

If you set up ssh keys between the two systems you can cron it to run at certain times of the day and you will not have to enter a password to make the connection betwen the two systems, rather it will use the keys to authenticate.

To do that just switch user to the user you want to rsync as and:

Code:
ssh-keygen

It will copy your keys in the home directory of the user that you initiate the keygen command as, so something like this /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.

Take the public key from the source systems and copy it into the destination system under /home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys. If the authorized_keys file does not exist then create it and copy the public key there.

This should get you up and working with rsync. I just put this up off of memory so hopefully i did not miss anything, but this should get you going.

ocf_heartbeat_rsyncd

OCF_HEARTBEAT_RSYNCD(7) 					OCF resource agents					   OCF_HEARTBEAT_RSYNCD(7)

NAME

       ocf_heartbeat_rsyncd - Manages an rsync daemon

SYNOPSIS

       rsyncd [start | stop | monitor | meta-data | validate-all]

DESCRIPTION

       This script manages rsync daemon

SUPPORTED PARAMETERS

       binpath
	   The rsync binary path. For example, "/usr/bin/rsync" (optional, string, default rsync)

       conffile
	   The rsync daemon configuration file name with full path. For example, "/etc/rsyncd.conf" (optional, string, default /etc/rsyncd.conf)

       bwlimit
	   This option allows you to specify a maximum transfer rate in kilobytes per second. This option is most effective when using rsync with
	   large files (several megabytes and up). Due to the nature of rsync transfers, blocks of data are sent, then if rsync determines the
	   transfer was too fast, it will wait before sending the next data block. The result is an average transfer rate equaling the specified
	   limit. A value of zero specifies no limit.  (optional, string, no default)

SUPPORTED ACTIONS

       This resource agent supports the following actions (operations):

       start
	   Starts the resource. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s.

       stop
	   Stops the resource. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s.

       monitor
	   Performs a detailed status check. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s. Suggested interval: 60s.

       validate-all
	   Performs a validation of the resource configuration. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s.

       meta-data
	   Retrieves resource agent metadata (internal use only). Suggested minimum timeout: 5s.

EXAMPLE

       The following is an example configuration for a rsyncd resource using the crm(8) shell:

	   primitive p_rsyncd ocf:heartbeat:rsyncd 
	     op monitor depth="0" timeout="20s" interval="60s"
