If you use the Assure MIMIX for AIX installation wizard, the following prerequisites are required on the AIX target system:
-
The wizard includes Java 8 JRE, which is used during installation processes. The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) included in the wizard has a .dll with dependencies on C:\Windows\System32\vcruntime140.dll. The vcruntime140.dll must be present on the PC where the wizard will be used to allow the wizard to properly open and run. The file is part of the Microsoft Visual C++ software runtime library. If the file is missing, you can install or reinstall the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package from Microsoft's website. A web search can identify other means of obtaining the vcruntime140.dll.
-
Either ssh and scp or rexec and rcp must be allowed. If ssh fails then rexec and rcp is used.
-
If rexec will be used rexecd must be configured in /etc/inetd.conf.
-
To use rcp the ~root/.rhosts file must have the local host and user name.
-
Check /etc/services to find the ports used by exec and shell and check that those ports are not blocked.
-
There is the option available to send a ping to the AIX system to determine if it is reachable.
-
This requires that the “echo” port is not blocked. This is usually defined as port 7 in /etc/services
