Rpm -qa shows what rpm packages are installed

Without YUM thes RPM commands can be used on AIX It is a free and open source package management system, which is available on AIX. For example: OpenSSL libraries are provided by AIX in installp format, so if an RPM package depends on a specific OpenSSL version then user should make sure to keep his OpenSSL version updated. YUM doesn't recognize AIX installp dependencies. It has been rewritten to support Red Hat based Linux system, and since then it is called YUM (Yellowdog Updater Modified.) YUM under the hood depends on RPM which is a packaging standard. It had a package manager, which was called Yellowdog UPdater (YUP). Yellowdog was a Linux distribution which was based on Red Hat. YUM is package manager for RPM packages, which allows automatic updates, package and dependency management.
