I want to install single RPM from LPP on NIM system without doing it interactively (with single non-interactive command), so I 'got' that command from smitty this way:
# smitty nim > Install and Update Software > Install Software
Software to Install [F4]
After pressing F6 now I get the command.
... but when I type this command in terminal, I get this error:
Has anyone ever done this and is it easy to do with SLES9/10? All I can find so far is this link

Can you still use all the feature of autoyast etc?
TIA. (1 Reply)

grid-ca-package
GRID-CA-PACKAGE(1) Globus Commands GRID-CA-PACKAGE(1)NAME
grid-ca-package - Prepare a CA certificate, configuration, and policy for distribution
SYNOPSIS
grid-ca-package [-help] [-h] [-usage] [-version] [-versions]
grid-ca-package [-ca HASH] [-g] [-b] [-r] [-d]
DESCRIPTION
The grid-ca-package utility creates a tarball containing an RPM spec file and the files needed to use a CA with grid tools. It optionally
will also create a GPT package for distributing a CA.
By default, the grid-ca-package utility displays a list of installed grid CA and prompts for which CA to package. It then creates a tarball
containing the CA certificate, signing policy, CA configuration files, and an spec script to generate a binary RPM package containing the
CA. If the CA hash is known prior to running grid-ca-package, it may provided as an argument to the -ca parameter to avoid prompting.
In addition to generating a spec script and tarball, grid-ca-package creates a GPT package if either the -g or -b options are used on the
command-line. These packages may be used to distribute a CA and configuration to systems which do not support RPM packages.
The grid-ca-package utility writes the package tarballs to the current working directory.
The full set of command-line options to grid-ca-package follows.
-help, -h, -usage
Display the command-line options to grid-ca-package and exit.
-version, -versions
Display the version number of the grid-ca-package command. The second form includes more details.
-ca CA
Use the CA whose name matches the hash string CA. When invoked with this option, grid-ca-package runs non-interactively.
-g
Create a GPT binary package in addition to the RPM script tarball. This package may be installed on other systems using the gpt-install
program.
-b
Create a GPT binary package with GPT metadata located in the path expected by GPT 3.2 (used in Globus 2.0.0-5.0.x) instead of
${datadir}/globus/packages as used in Globus 5.2.x. This option overrides the -g command-line option.
-r
Create a binary RPM package for the CA. This option currently only works on RPM-based distributions.
-d
Create a binary Debian package for the CA. This option currently only works on Debian-based distributions.
EXAMPLES
Package a Simple CA with hash 0146c503
% grid-ca-package -ca 0146c503
Creating RPM source tarball... done
