iperf3 can be installed from online repositories, but it has additional dependancies that are not automatically installed when using yum. The following steps demonstrate a method of first installing the dependencies, then iperf3 itself.
1) Ensure there is enough free space (~5 GB) in /tmp of the AIX VM
# df /tmp
2) Download the AIX install .iso from Skytap assets
Add a VM to the same environment, and on the same network as the AIX VM you would like to install iperf3 into. The VM should have a Desktop operating system and ssh (x86 Ubuntu Desktop recommended)
Using a browser in the VM, login to your Skytap account and navigate the Assets section
Download the "1 of 2" AIX iso file that matches the version of AIX you are going to install iperf3 into
When the download is complete, move the downloaded .iso to /tmp
3) Move the downloaded AIX .iso file into the AIX VM
From within the AIX VM, scp the file from the Desktop OS VM to /tmp of the AIX VM
Example:
# scp skytap@10.0.0.2:/tmp/AIX_v7.1_Install_7100-05-09-2135_DVD_1_of_2_092021_LCD8149126.iso /tmp/AIX_v7.1_Install_7100-05-09-2135_DVD_1_of_2_092021_LCD8149126.iso
4) On the AIX LPAR(VM) ensure /mnt is empty:
# mount | grep mnt
5) Mount the .iso
Example:
# loopmount -i /tmp/AIX_v7.1_Install_7100-05-09-2135_DVD_1_of_2_092021_LCD8149126.iso -m /mnt -o "-V cdrfs -o ro"
6) Install sctp files from the .iso
# installp -agxd /mnt bos.net.sctp
# updtvpkg
7) Unmount the .iso
# loopumount -l loop0 -m /mnt
8) Install iperf3
# yum install iperf3
When the installation is complete, iperf3 can be found at: /opt/freeware/bin/iperf3
