OS Version: All AIX

Resolution

Starting on version 5.60 of the agents for AIX, AIX 6.1 and 7.1 kits have two different kits depending on the target Technical Level of the AIX server where the agent will be installed.

You can check the current TL of the server by launching:
#instfix -i | grep ML
...

Not all filesets for 6100-04_AIX_ML were found.

Meaning that your current TL is TL4 but not all filesets have been installed.


Extracted from the readme.txt:

- On Aix, the libperfstat library must be installed and up to date (fileset is 'bos.perf.libperfstat').
On Aix 7.1, the minimal recommended version required is 7.1.2.0+ (TL-7100-02+ / package '*aix71-ppc64*.tar').
For inferior versions (TL[0-1]), use the package '*aix71_TL0-ppc64*.tar'.
On Aix 6.1, the minimal recommended version required is 6.1.6.1+ (TL-6100-06+ / package '*aix61-ppc64*.tar').
For inferior versions (TL[1-5]), use the package '*aix61_TL1-ppc64*.tar'.
On Aix 5.3, the minimal recommended version required is 5.3.0.60+ (TL-5300-06+ / package '*aix53-ppc*.tar').
For inferior versions (TL[3-5]), use the package '*aix53_TL3-ppc*.tar'.
