Installing the UNIX agent manually on AIX target computers

You can install the UNIX agent on the IBM AIX target computer manually by
extracting the bv-Control.8.60.<build number> file from the DVD-ROM on the
target computer.

Warning: Ensure that the UNIX agent is installed for the root user and the queries
are executed in the root context. The agent must not be installed for any non-root
user.

To install the UNIX package on the IBM AIX target computer from a local drive

1 Create a directory on the AIX target computer.
Example: /tmp/bvinstall

2 Copy the AIX package (i.e. bv-Control.8.60.<build number> file) from the
OS-specific folder that is located in the \CCS_DataCollection\Support_Installs\bv_Control_for_UNIX directory of the DVD drive.
The build number consists of the last three digits of the file name.

3 Change to the newly created directory.

4 Type the following command to install the package on the AIX target computer as root.
installp -acNQqwX -d bv-Control.8.60.<build number> bvControl.rte

5 Press Enter.
