Installing protection software for AIX

Log in to the AIX server(s) as root.

Edit both the hosts file on the AIX server(s) and the system to add the name and IP address of the system into the hosts file on the AIX server(s), and to add the name and IP address of the AIX server(s) into the hosts file on the system.

Download the AIX client from the appropriate location (see chart above) into the /tmp folder on the AIX client. Execute the following commands to begin the installation of the AIX client:

chmod 755 /tmp/aix5_cnt
/tmp/aix5_cnt

The installation will take you through the steps necessary to install the package.

You will be asked to specify the directory location where the software will be installed. If this is a reinstall, you will be asked if you wish to overwrite certain files. Type the interrupt character or press return to continue. The files will be moved to their permanent location.

When the configuration process finishes, you will be prompted to reboot the AIX server to complete the installation.
