RPMS and NIM

[Michael Jones]

AIXers,
Has anyone successfully used NIM's lpp_source resource to distribute
RPMS packages to NIM clients. I am using AIX 5.2, I run this from
smit.log:

/usr/lpp/bos.sysmgt/nim/methods/m_sm_nim cust -I -t 'nimopisdev' -l
'lpp_sou
rce1' -o 'zsh-4.0.4
ALL
@@R:zsh-4.0.4 _all_filesets' -f 'p' -f 'c' -f 'N' -f 'g' -f 'X' -f
'' -f '' -f
'' -f ''

I get an error like this for various RPMS I have so far tried:

I haven't gotten it to work completely, but I can get you a little farther
along.

This comes from not having the installp->rpm 'glue' package correct. Try
running '/usr/sbin/updtvpkg' on the client beforehand. I think this will
get you back to the normal dependency chasing.

Running updtvpkg fixed things. RPMS via NIM works great.
