(Archived) AIX Working Group

This WG is no longer active. The following is kept for historical purposes.

The AIX Working Group collaborates on AIX and AIX-related technologies (incl. PowerHA and HACMP) in Ansible.

News

  • AIX works out of the box with most of the standard Unix modules.
  • We formed a Working Group to improve the AIX-specific support in Ansible.
  • We have an AIX pinboard, subscribe to it to stay informed!
  • There is no automated testing infrastructure for AIX yet, individual testing by contributors/users is critical. This is why we need integration tests for every AIX module.

Ideas

  • Add modules to collections
  • Add modules from the IBM AIXOSS community
  • Add See Also sections to AIX modules referring related modules and websites
  • Add AIX documentation (cfr. intro_bsd) #16178
  • Fixes to existing modules to add AIX support
    • Add support for AIX (and /etc/filesystems) to the mount module, see aix_mount
  • Improvements to AIX-specific facts, see aix_facts aix facts ideas
