What really perplexes me is that this must have somehow worked at one point because my AIX disk images have the xlc v13 and v16 compilers which do not come with the base OS.

What I want to accomplish is the AIX system appearing like any other machine on my LAN with bi-directional connectivity. Failing that, it would be ok if it spoke only to the Windows host because I could move files to/from the Windows host and AIX guest. Has anyone been successful at this at doing this or have any ideas of how I can accomplish this feat? This would be very handy because my “real” AIX box does not have an HMC and so I cannot remote boot it. I've never tried to run QEMU using Windows. I'll give a try when I have the chance. I guess that one core difference is how you'll create the network bridge for the guest.

It seems to me that host linux needs to "connect" a route between virbr0 and 192.0.2.96 so that packets heading to Aix guest get routed to virbr0. Not clear where vibr0 got 192.168.122.1?

I think this picture might do it: https://www.jazakallah.info/post/how-to-setup-network-for-ibm-aix-vm-access-in-qemu? AIX guest doesn't have to be 192.0.2.x, I can make it whatever it takes just so I can transfer files and xterm from it to my system. > > I do not recall the command line I used to create the AIX images. I did it last year on Windows and when networking didn't work, I put it aside but my disk files are from that period. What really perplexes me is that this must have somehow worked at one point because my AIX disk images have the xlc v13 and v16 compilers which do not come with the base OS.
