Verifying RSCT installation on AIX nodes

RSCT installation verification on AIX® nodes involves the following information.

To verify that RSCT has been installed on an AIX node, enter:
lslpp -L rsct.*
For example, for RSCT 3.1.5.0 on AIX 7.1, the system displays the following information:

If the RSCT components are installed, make sure they are at a version that applies to this documentation. If you are using RSCT in conjunction with an exploiter of the technology, make sure this is the version of RSCT the exploiter requires. Not all of the RSCT filesets are required by every RSCT exploiter. See the specific RSCT exploiter's documentation for information about RSCT version and fileset requirements.

The RSCT for AIX filesets are described in Table 1.

rsct.exp RSCT Expansion Pack, which contains the CIM resource manager. This fileset is part of the AIX Expansion Pack and will not be installed by default. To use the CIM resource manager on AIX, you will also need to install the Pegasus CIM Server filesets off the AIX Expansion Pack. The filesets for the Pegasus CIM server are:
sysmgt.pegasus.cimserver
sysmgt.pagasus.osbaseproviders

rsct.exp.cimrm is no longer shipped starting with AIX® version 7.2.0.0.

rsct.opt.storagerm Storage resource manager
rsct.opt.stackdump Stack dump function
If entering the lslpp command as described above reveals that needed RSCT filesets are not installed, you can install them from the AIX installation media using the installp command. Enter the installp command as shown below, where cd0 is the name of the AIX installation media, and fileset is the name of an RSCT fileset as shown in the preceding table.
installp -agXd /dev/cd0 fileset

If you are upgrading from a previous release of RSCT, make sure you review the information in Migration considerations first.
