Preparing an AIX installation

If you are planning to install as a non-root user on AIX®, and use SSH to access your AIX server, you must perform extra configuration steps before you access the AIX server. If you use rlogin or telnet to access your AIX server, you do not need to perform these steps. You also need to install the AIX unzip utility before installing Netcool Configuration Manager.

1. Obtain the AIX utilities from the IBM AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications website: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/aix/linux/toolbox/altlic.html and follow the online prompts to install the required utilities.
   1. Install the rpm package manager first using the following command:
      installp -YqacXgd rpm.rte rpm.rte.
      
      The rpm package manager allows you to install the other utilities.
   2. As a minimum, download and install the unzip utility using rpm package manager using the following command:
      rpm - i unzip-version.rpm.
2. Open the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file on the AIX server where you want to install Netcool Configuration Manager.
3. Ensure that the file contains the following line:

   UseLogin yes

4. Save and close the file.
