I. AIX - Install / Upgrade Instructions :
Use root login or root credentials for the following procedure.
The same steps work for both initial installation as well as an upgrade.
a. Download the required level of GSKit V7.

a.i. If you have downloaded the GSKit V7 latest fix levels from Fix central the file name will be similar to "7.0.4.41-TIV-GSKIT-AIX-FP0041.tar.gz". Transfer the file over to the target AIX system either using scp or ftp (binary mode). Extract the file on AIX system:

==> cd <download_location>
==> ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 14867364 May 22 11:09 7.0.4.41-TIV-GSKIT-AIX-FP0041.tar.gz

==> gunzip -c 7.0.4.41-TIV-GSKIT-AIX-FP0041.tar.gz | tar -xf -
==> ls -l
drwxr-sr-x 2 root system 2048 May 22 11:09 7.0.4.41-TIV-GSKIT-AIX-FP0041
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 14867364 May 22 11:09 7.0.4.41-TIV-GSKIT-AIX-FP0041.tar.gz

==> cd 7.0.4.41-TIV-GSKIT-AIX-FP0041
==> ls -la
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 1384 May 22 11:09 .toc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 10792960 May 22 11:09 gsksa.rte
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 11173888 May 22 11:08 gskta.rte

Now directly go to Step b. below.

a.ii. If you have downloaded a fix level prior to 7.0.4.35 from gskit download site, then you will have files such as gsksa.rte and gskta.rte and transfer them over to AIX system either using scp or ftp (binary mode). Keep these files in a new folder (e.g.: /home/gsk704.28/).

==> cd <path_of_gskit_download_location>
==> ls -la
total 41920
drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 256 Aug 10 16:46 .
drwxr-xr-x 28 root system 4096 Aug 10 16:45 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 10539008 Aug 10 16:46 gsksa.rte
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 10919936 Aug 10 16:46 gskta.rte

Create a .toc file using inutoc command: (note the dot/period in the command below which denotes current working directory where the installable packages are available)

==> inutoc .

==> ls -la
total 41928
drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 256 Aug 10 16:48 .
drwxr-xr-x 28 root system 4096 Aug 10 16:45 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 1384 Aug 10 16:48 .toc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 10539008 Aug 10 16:46 gsksa.rte
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 10919936 Aug 10 16:46 gskta.rte

b. Stop Tivoli Directory Server related processes (ibmdiradm and ibmslapd) and any other processes such as secldapclntd or TAM related processes which use gskit.

c. Run the command to unload any unused shared libs:

==> slibclean

d. Install the filesets - before this make sure to cd into the correct folder as mentioned in a.i. OR a.ii.
(Note: The dot/period in the command below which denotes current working directory where the installable packages are available)

==> installp -acXgYd . gsksa gskta

e. Verify the installed fileset levels:

==> lslpp -l | egrep -i "gsksa|gskta"
gsksa.rte 7.0.4.41 COMMITTED AIX Certificate and SSL Base
gskta.rte 7.0.4.41 COMMITTED AIX Certificate and SSL Base

f. Start Tivoli Directory Server related processes (ibmdiradm and ibmslapd) and any other processes such as secldapclntd or TAM related processes which use gskit.

II. AIX - Uninstall Instructions:
Use root login or root credentials for the following procedure.
a. Stop Tivoli Directory Server related processes (ibmdiradm and ibmslapd) and any other processes such as secldapclntd or TAM related processes which use gskit.

b. Run the command to unload any unused shared libs:

==> slibclean

c. Uninstall the filesets

==> installp -u gsksa gskta

Note: The above command may not uninstall the filesets if any dependent software is still in place. First uninstall any dependent software before uninstalling gskit filesets. In most cases an upgrade would be more suitable.

d. Verify the installed fileset levels:

==> lslpp -l | egrep -i "gsksa|gskta"
