Analytics Script causes core dump of NetIQ 7.1 agent on AIX (NETIQKB72089)

You can install this Hotfix manually on the local computer where the agent is installed, or you can install this Hotfix using UNIX Agent Manager.

To install this Hotfix using UNIX Agent Manager:

1. In the UNIX Agent Manager console, click Agent Manager.
2. Click Hosts > Scan All Hosts to verify all agents are active and registered.
3. Click Hosts > Patch Mgr.
4. If you use UNIX Agent Manager to manage both 7.1 and 5.6 versions of the UNIX agent, click 7.1 Agents.
5. Click Load.

To install this Hotfix manually:

2. Copy the p71p9.tar file for your operating system and the /unix/data/updates/P71P9/wcPatch file to the PSHOME/netiq/bin directory on the computer where you want to apply the Hotfix. You can find the value for PSHOME in the /etc/vsaunix.cfg file on the target computer.

Please contact us with your questions and comments. We look forward to hearing from you.

The AMPP KS calls a non-existant counter in 7.1 which causes an agent crash.
