Converting the INFINIDAT ODM RPM to an AIX Fileset package is needed when you build an AIX package to install our ODM settings using the AIX packaging system.
Before you begin
- The following commands are to be executed using root on a AIX 7.1 under a ksh, bash or zsh shell
- This guide converts version 2.2.3.2 of the ODM RPM package; you can change the version number if needed
Creating the package
Make sure you have the infinidat odm RPM package installed:
rpm -Uvh http://repo.infinidat.com/packages/main-stable/index/packages/infinidat-odm/releases/2.2.3.2/distributions/aix-5.3/architectures/powerpc/extensions/rpm/infinidat-odm-2.2.3.2-aix-5.3-powerpc.rpm
Make sure you have the bos.adt.insttools installed

You now have the fileset saves as /root/build/infinidat/odm/tmp/infinidat.odm.2.2.3.2.bff
The warnings shown in the example above can be safely ignored
Creating a lpp_source and installing the ODM into a SPOT
Create a installation image format:
bffcreate -d $PWD/tmp -t $PWD/lpp_source infinidat.odm.rte
Define that directory as a lpp_source in NIM:
nim -o define -t lpp_source -a server=master -a location=$PWD/lpp_source -a packages=infinidat.odm.rte infinidat-odm
Install the ODM inside the a SPOT:
nim -o cust -a lpp_source=infinidat-odm -a filesets=infinidat.odm.rte <your-spot-name-here>
Testing the package
Check that INFINIDAT entries exist in the ODM:
# odmget PdAt | grep -p NFINIDAT | wc -l 583
Remove the ODM RPM:
rpm -e infinidat-odm-2.2.3.2-1
Check that no INFINIDAT entries exist in the ODM:
# odmget PdAt | grep -p NFINIDAT | wc -l 0
Install the generated package:
