New to AIX need help Installing/Upgrading Samba on AIX 7.1?
Hello,
I am trying to update Samba on my AIX 7.1 system as there is an issues with it, the smbd process coredumps and I have had no luck figuring it out why.
My approach is to try to re-install a newer samba and I have found the latest 3.x package for samba in ppc.rpm format at perlz.org
Looking at my current system, it has 3.6 installed. It seems that this was not installed using RPM as I don't see samba in the list when I run "rpm -qa".
However, I did find it using "lslpp -L | grep "samba" returns..
So I think at some point installed using installp??
Judging from the "pware53" name I think it was obtained from an IBM AIX repository at pware.hvcc.edu (which no longer works).
So my goal is to first uninstall the existing samba package (smbd, nmbd, winbindd) and installing the latest 3.6.22 from perlz.org.
My issue is, I have no idea how to install the package (noob to aix/unix) and i'd like to do this as clean as possible.
As a test, I downloaded all the ppc.rpm packages below and placed them in one folder..
When I ran rpm -ivh *.rpm I got a bunch of failed dependencies.
My issues right now are...
Should I be installing the ppc.rpm package or the src.rpm package? If I download all the dependencies and run ipm -ivh *.rpm will that install the package? What happens to things you usually have to pass in when building the package such as /configure -- /make etc.. (such as in ubuntu).
How do I properly uninstall/clean the current pware53 samba/nmbd/winbindd installation so I don't end up with two different versions?
Thank you.

Hi all,
I've got a question about an OS upgrade.
I'm planning to do a upgrade from AIX UNIX 4.3.2 to 4.3.3 in a few weeks.
I haven't got that much information.
Could someone give me some general tips or hints, things I should think of before? Things I should know, or general errors.

Hey guys,
since AIX 5.3 reaches EOS on april 2012, I really need to update my systems asap.
Any experience on upgrading directly to 7.1, with sap/db2/oracle?
could do fresh installs and import my sap/db vgs, but this would be a lot of work

Hi all,
I have this weird notion that upgrading the TL does not cause the machine to wipe, but upgrading a major version (from aix 6 to 7) means it's actually a fresh install and will wipe the date and i have to install the software again (TSM server, for instance). Trying to google it, i came... (3 Replies)
