AIX

G'day all.
Thanks to everyone for helping me getting my h50 rs/6000 server going
Now i need just a bit more help.

Can anyone tell me how i install other software using remote console?

What kind of software, and where is it located? Are they on a CD or DVD, or is it something you've downloaded? You'll need to get the .bff files (or whatever type of source files you have) onto a filesystem the system can read, then from the smitty fast-path

Code:

smitty install

you can pick the location of your installs and move forward.
Depending on the source of your install files, you might need to investigate the 'inutoc' command which creates a TOC (table of contents) file that smitty understands.


Good luck with it!

ZekesGarage is correct - for the installp part. AIX can deal with two different package formats: the native "bff" (backup file format) and "rpm" packages. rpm (Redhat package mnager - yes, the Linux one) is spported since the "Linux Affinity" initiative started with AIX 5L back at around 2000. Depending on what version you installed on your H50 lastly (pre-5.0 or later) you can use rpm packages too.

I hope this helps.
