Installing the AIX server agent

This topic provides instructions for installing the IBM AIX server agent.

  1. Install the RSCD agent on the AIX server that acts as the proxy server as described in Installing-only-the-RSCD-agent-Linux-and-UNIX in the BMC Server Automation online technical documentation. Be sure to install the RSCD agent that is specifically designated for use with an AIX server.

    Tip

    Because the IBM frame agentless managed object is managed through a proxy, do not overload the proxy server. The recommendation is to map one IBM frame agentless managed object to one proxy host. However, if you are using one proxy server to host multiple agentless managed objects, note that all of the agentless managed objects using the proxy host must be running the same version of the IBM configuration object.

  2. Open the /etc/rsc/exports file and edit the last line so it reads:
    rw,user=root
  3. Save and close the file.

Proceed to Adding-the-AIX-server-and-IBM-frame-object-to-BMC-Server-Automation.
