Issue/Introduction

I have a problem installing an infrastructure agent on AIX. The agent version is the latest, downloaded yesterday from our Saas. 

AIX os level: 7100-05-07-2038

Log:

Cause

The Infrastructure Agent download on the Agent Download page is only suitable for x86_64 Linux variants not AIX. 

Resolution

Create a AIX specific APMIA package using APM Command Center (accessible from the Settings menu)

Other Specific Unix/linux variants can also be specified here
