Installation error due to missing chkconfig package on RHEL 9.x during IBM Spectrum Control installation

When installing the IBM Spectrum Control on RHEL 9.x, the installation fails if the chkconfig package is not installed.

Problem

Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "chkconfig" (in directory "/usr/sbin"): error=2, No such file or directory

This issue occurs because the chkconfig package is not installed by default on RHEL 9.x, which is a prerequisite for IBM Spectrum Control.

Solution
