BPCIN0106E There are invalid header files in the installation images. You may might be using the AIX tar program instead of the GNU tar program to extract files from the installation images. For more information, see IBM Knowledge Center and search by the error message code.

Explanation

The AIX tar program can result in invalid header files, because this tar program places the header files in the installation images. This can cause errors in the installation.

Action

Use the GNU tar program rather than the native AIX tar program to extract files from the installation images.

Download, install, and use the GNU tar program, version 1.14 or later. The GNU tar program can be downloaded from http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/aix/linux/toolbox/alpha.html. The GNU tar program must be installed as the default tar utility in the installation path. The default installation location for this tar program is /usr/local/bin.
