This post will describe the installation and configuration of the user’s authentication with LDAP on AIX using IBM directory server client software.

This post will describe the installation of yum on AIX and some problems you can have when installing it on systems which have rpms from other sources already installed.

A small post about a bug I had after upgrading yum on AIX on some old servers.

A small post on the “The ssl certificate error” message thrown by my NGINX server. I spent some time to figure what happens so I hope this post can help others. :)

I added a new functionality allowing to add custom tags on partitions imported from NMON or HMC. In this post, I will explain how to implement it and what you can do with it.

In this post, I will show how to test a CHEF recipe with kitchen-wpar. I will also use the AIX cookbook to make more advanced recipes.

I modified my nmon2influxdb tool to import HMC Performance and Capacity Monitoring(PCM) data in InfluxDB.

It’s a short introduction on what it’s possible to do with Ansible on AIX. Ansible is agentless so requirements are pretty low but operating system support by Ansible define what it’s really possible to do. I will give some basic examples through a playbook I use to customize my AIX systems.

This post is to present the little library I made to create grafana dashboards from my tool nom2influxdb.
