Hi,

I want to access windows folder from aix and viceversa. Is it possible to do that? I came to know we can do that from cifs but when tried to install
cifs.base.cmd 3.2.1.0
cifs.base.lic 3.2.1.0
cifs.base.smit 3.2.1.0
cifs.basic.rte 3.2.1.0
cifs.client.rte 3.2.1.0
cifs.websm.apps 3.2.1.0

file sets it gives an error

missing file sets

cifs.base.cmd 3.2.0.0
cifs.base.lic 3.2.0.0
cifs.base.smit 3.2.0.0
cifs.basic.rte 3.2.0.0
cifs.client.rte 3.2.0.0
cifs.websm.apps 3.2.0.0

Can anybody help me? Server OS is 5.3 ml7.

Yes, cifs will allow you to mount Windows shares. I've successfully installed and used it on an AIX 5.2 server.

Those files are located on the original AIX installation CD's. You can mount each CD and look for the necessary packages. Once you've located the correct CD, you can install the software using smit. It takes care of everything for you.

I'm not at a server at the moment, so I don't know the exact menu sequence in smit. But it should be self explanatory.

Hi,

I am unable to find those file sets.I have tried it on 5.2 also. But I only manage to install following file sets
bos.cifs_fs.rte,bos.cifs_fs.smit,bos.cifs_fs.rte,and bos.cifs_fs.smit.
But I didn't find
cifs.base.cmd,cifs.base.lic,cifs.base.smit,cifs.basic.rte,cifs.client.rte,cifs.websm.apps.

The bos.cifs* filesets are what you're looking for.

bos = Base Operating System.

These filesset don't install any additional commands. They just enable cifs support within the already available 'mount' command. I'll have access to an AIX server later today. I'll send more info then.
