===== Useful: use yum for AIX =====

Download the yum tar package from:
  ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/ezinstall/ppc/yum_bundle_v2.tar

After untar start to install RPMs:
<cli prompt='#'>
[root@nim01]/export/ibm_rpm# rpm -Uhv gdbm-1.8.3-5.aix5.2.ppc.rpm                         
[root@nim01]/export/ibm_rpm# rpm -Uhv readline-6.1-2.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
[root@nim01]/export/ibm_rpm# rpm -Uhv db-4.8.24-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm  
</cli>

Install openssl RPM from perzl.org:
<cli prompt='#'>    
[root@nim01]/export/perzl_rpm# rpm -Uhv ../perzl_rpm/openssl\-1.0.2j\-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
</cli>

If python install failed, then refresh the RPM database:
<cli prompt='#'>
[root@nim01]/export/ibm_rpm# rpm -Uhv python-2.7.10-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so) is needed by python-2.7.10-1
        libssl.a(libssl.so) is needed by python-2.7.10-1
[root@nim01]/export/ibm_rpm# updtvpkg
Please wait...
[root@nim01]/export/ibm_rpm# rpm -Uhv python-2.7.10-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
</cli>

Now continue:
<cli prompt='#'>
[root@nim01]/export/ibm_rpm# rpm -Uhv sqlite-3.15.2-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
[root@nim01]/export/ibm_rpm# rpm -Uhv pysqlite-1.1.7-2.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
[root@nim01]/export/ibm_rpm# rpm -Uhv python-iniparse-0.4-1.aix6.1.noarch.rpm
[root@nim01]/export/ibm_rpm# rpm -Uhv ca-certificates-2016.10.7-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
[root@nim01]/export/ibm_rpm# rpm -Uhv curl-7.52.1-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm       
[root@nim01]/export/ibm_rpm# rpm -Uhv python-pycurl-7.19.3-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm               
[root@nim01]/export/ibm_rpm# rpm -Uhv python-urlgrabber-3.10.1-1.aix6.1.noarch.rpm
[root@nim01]/export/ibm_rpm# rpm -Uhv glib2-2.14.6-2.aix5.2.ppc.rpm
[root@nim01]/export/ibm_rpm# rpm -Uhv yum-metadata-parser-1.1.4-2.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
</cli>

Now I've the wrong version of rpm.rte AIX package
<cli prompt='#'>
[root@nim01]/export/ibm_rpm# rpm -Uhv yum-3.4.3-4.aix6.1.noarch.rpm 
cannot get shared lock on database
rpmQuery: rpmdbOpen() failed
cannot get shared lock on database
rpmQuery: rpmdbOpen() failed
You doesn't seems to have rpm-4.9.1.3 installed.
Please install either rpm.rte 4.9.1.3 from ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/INSTALLP/ppc/
or else install the rpm-4.9.1.3 rpm from http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/aix/linux/toolbox/alpha.html#R
execution of yum-3.4.3-4 script failed, exit status 1
[root@nim01]/export/ibm_rpm# lslpp -Lc | grep rpm.rte
rpm.rte:rpm.rte:3.0.5.52: : :C: :RPM Package Manager: : : : : : :1:0:/:
</cli>

Download and install the right rpm.rte package, and then retry the installation of yum 

<cli prompt='#'>    
[root@nim01]/export/perzl_rpm# rpm -Uhv createrepo\-0.10.3\-2.aix6.1.noarch.rpm 
error: failed dependencies:

[root@nim01]/export/ibm_rpm# rpm -Uhv createrepo-0.10.3-2.aix6.1.noarch.rpm 
</cli>


To include recent repository changes we recommend you to update yum to yum-3.4.3-4 or 
manually need to add two extra repository to your existing /opt/freeware/etc/yum/yum.conf file.

1. Add noarch
   [AIX_Toolbox_noarch]
   name=AIX noarch repository
   baseurl=https://anonymous:anonymous@public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/noarch/
   enabled=1
   gpgcheck=0
   
2. Add either ppc-6.1, ppc-7.1, ppc-7.2 depending on your AIX version.
   6.1 repository is. Replace ppc-6.1 with ppc-7.1 or ppc-7.2 if your AIX version 7.1 or 7.2.

   [AIX_Toolbox_noarch]
   name=AIX noarch repository
   baseurl=https://anonymous:anonymous@public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc-6.1/
   enabled=1
   gpgcheck=0

===== Manage repository =====

Remove multiple versions of RPM packages, this script from **yum-utils** put the 2 latest versions of RPM package into /path/to/repo
<cli prompt='#'>
# repomanage --keep=2 --old /path/to/repo)
# createrepo /path/to/repo
</cli>



===== Error possible =====

After the new install of rpm.rte we might see the error like this 
   "error: incorrect format: unknown tag" if AIX level is not same as or higher than
   AIX 61 TL9 SP6
   AIX 71 TL4
   AIX 72

  This error is from the lslpp command due to the INSTALLPREFIX tag deprecation and use of new INSTPREFIXES tag in newer rpm.
  This issue has been addressed and fixed in AIX version mentioned above.
