AIX Package Installation

This section describes how to install AIX packages directly so that the CTE Agent installation integrates with AIX distribution software. The CTE installation bin files contain the native packages and are extracted by running the bin file with the -e flag.

To extract and run the .bff file on AIX:

1. Log on to the host system as root and copy or mount the installation file onto the host system.

2. Extract the package files.

    ./vee-fs-7.2.0-56-aix71.bin -e
   Contents extracted.
   # ls *bff
   vee-fs-7.2.0-56-aix71.bff
   

3. Run installp and then follow the prompts.

    installp -aX -d vee-fs-7.2.0-56-aix71.bff vee.fs
