Case #03583065 the customer is asking for AIX patching support since the supported clients architecture at [1] does not include AIX.

Also, created a Jira ticket at https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-19452

Comment 2 Adam Ruzicka 2023-08-10 12:57:27 UTC

Could you please elaborate a bit on what you exactly mean by patching in this context? Do you want to be able to "just" kick of patching on AIX systems, having them pull content from external sources or do you want to manage AIX content (packages and stuff) in satellite itself?

Comment 3 Sameh Attia 2023-08-10 13:42:27 UTC

Yes Adam. The customer needs to have AIX supported in Satellite like RHEL exactly, a content host, REX, dashboard, console, ... etc to be a supported client.
