Add a bundle to a lpp_source

UNIX AIX
1

Hi.

I forgot a bundle (X11.dt) in the lpp_source (base OS AIX 7.1). The bundle is now in the CD drive, I need to add it permanently in the lpp_source. What do I have to do ?

  • copy (where ?) bundle on my NIM server (how to determine what files to copy to have all elements of the bundle ?) ?
  • then ?

Tks

You need to use "smitty nim" like this.

smitty nim -->
Perform NIM Administration Tasks -->
Manage Resources -->
Perform Operations on Resources -->
<your lpp_source> -->
update  = add or remove software to or from an lpp_source -->
add -->
/dev/cd0 <path to your cd drive> -->
In "SOFTWARE Packages to Add"  put X11.dt or push Esc-4 to search for it and select it.
Push enter a few times and it should save it to your lpp_source
Once it is in your LPP Source you don't need the disk loaded anymore.
