You should check if the version you attempting to install is supported.

The latest CommVault packages will support the latest aix software. 
older versions or eol versions of aix may require an older version of the CommVault package to function.


Thank you for your response.

The commcell has not been updated and it a long-term support. New client package was downloaded but this issue still remains the same.

Any suggestion?

 


Hi @Olumy 

 

Can you try running the installer after running “chmod -R 777 *” on the folder where installer is extracted.

 

Also, can you share logs under /var/log/.gxsetup?

 

Thanks,

Sparsh
