UNIX AIX

Hello Gang

Can you please help me in installing EN_GB UTF-8 on AIX 5.3 .
I have worked on Solaris and Linux, but not familier with AIX so hoping if someone show the roadmap.

Ok, run

smitty lang  -->  Add Additional Language Environments
-->  CULTURAL convention to install  (F4 or Esc+4 to expand) 
--> Search (EN_GB)  -->   UTF-8      English (Great Britain) [EN_GB]

Thats it.

I am not sure, but I think you need to reboot the box, for the language to be effective. Let me know on this, if you find some.

I hope this helps.

Thanks. I need to find the media which contain the package now.

If you use NIM server, then it is the answer.

I think locales cannot be directly installed via NIM - at least not to my knowledge. You can NFS-export the "/exports" directory (or some subset thereof) from the NIM server, NFS-mount it on the client and then do like you described above. This is actually what we do as it is the closest you can come to a real NIM-installation.

You do not need to reboot.

I hope this helps.

How if I use the below from nim

smitty nim_inst_all  --> select the target node --> select the resource
 --> software to install (open it up using esc+4 or F4) - Here I search for EN_GB

@Bakunin,
Thanks for reboot clarification.
