AIX

Hi, I am trying to get out as much package information as possible from an AIX 5.3 server.

So far I have run the following command

# lslpp -Lac > ./[file type]

The c is for future formatting.

The package name and description are helpful - but is there any other package information I can get - or perhaps another command which will list everything installed on the server?

Ideally I would really want the Vendor name, is this possible?

Your help is greatly apprecriated,

Thanks

check the lslpp man page. another thing to note is that not all software is installed as a AIX package so they will not show up there. there is no uniform way to find them either.

AIX also use the rpm package manager that is common on Linux for some open source stuff. Use rpm -qa to get the info. For big software like Oracle it doesn't use the standard package approach so a bit of detective work is necessary to find out what is on the server.

it won't show relocated packages either. For this you need to run lslpp_r -R ALL -Lcq
