Unable to install using nimldr 23.4 for AIX 7.x servers

Products

Issue/Introduction

We are unable to install the nimldr AIX servers, and the installation is asking/prompting for the password.

Environment

• DX UIM 23.4
• AIX 7.1/7.2

Resolution

The workaround for the AIX robot install for now, is to install using the rpm method until DX UIM 23.4 CU3 is GA.

RPM Install Method

1. Deploy the GA AIX 23.4.2.1 rpm version available in HF for robot installation on AIX 7.x on the server

              Deployment on robot using the GA AIX 23.4.2.1 rpm should work fine.

2. Use the packages below from HF for robot installation on AIX 7.x 

     This is for an existing robot instance...install the aix package followed by the robot upgrade.

    Install niminit_AIX 1.0 followed by robot_update 23.4.2.1.
