AIX: Installing prerequisite RPM files for the graphical wizard

Before you can use the graphical wizard of IBM® Installation Manager to install IBM Spectrum Protect™, you must ensure that the necessary RPM files are installed.

About this task

If the RPM files that are listed in AIX: Installing IBM Spectrum Protect by using the installation wizard are not installed, you must download and install the files.

Procedure

To install the necessary RPM files, complete the following steps:

Ensure that there is at least 150 MB of free space in the /opt file system.
To install the RPM files, download the server installation package from an IBM download site such as IBM Passport Advantage® or IBM Fix Central. From the directory where the installation package file is extracted, go to the gtk directory.
Download the RPM files to the current working directory from the IBM AIX® Toolbox for Linux Applications website, by issuing the following command:
```
download-prerequisites.sh
```
From the directory that contains the RPM files that you downloaded, install them by issuing the following command:
```
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
```
If a message indicates that one of the files is already installed on the system, take one of the following actions:
- Issue the following command:
```
rpm -Uvh --force *.rpm
```
- Move the earlier versions of the files to a different directory, and issue the rpm command again, as shown in the following example:
```
mkdir already-installed
mv *.rpm already-installed
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
```
