Agents on AIX: Stopping the agent and running slibclean before you upgrade

Before you run the agent installer to upgrade the agent on AIX, you must stop the agent and run slibclean to clear the libkududp.a library.

Procedure

Stop the agent by running one of the following commands, depending on whether the agent supports multiple instances:
- ```
./name-agent.sh stop
```
- ```
./name-agent.sh stop instance_name
```
See Using agent commands.
Run the following command with root user privileges.
```
slibclean
```
See slibclean Command in the IBM® Knowledge Center.

The agent is stopped and the libkududp.a library is cleared.

Run the agent installer to upgrade the agent to the release that you have downloaded. See Installing your agents.
