Issue/Introduction

How do I configure the agent to start at boot time of an AIX server?

Environment

Release : 12.0

Component : Workload Automation System Agent

Resolution

After agent installation completes, add an entry to the /etc/inittab script similar to following:

serverhost:2:once:/serverhost/WA_Agent/WA-agent start > /dev/null 2>&1

Next time you reboot the server, the agent will start automatically.
