The AIX installation package is compressed through gzip. In order to install the package, you must unzip the package through gunzip.
By default, the installation program installs the software into /opt/novell. To change this, create a directory in the required part of the file system and create a symbolic link to /opt/novell.
To install the AIX agent:
Copy the installation package to a temporary location and use the following command to extract the installation files:
gunzip <filename>
See the “NetIQ Privileged User Manager Readme” for the actual filename.
After the AIX installation package is uncompressed, use one of the following methods to perform the installation.
