AIX Native Package Installation

AIX native packaging is provided as a set of GUI and command-line utilities that let you manage individual software packages.

Note: While some AIX versions support several package formats (installp, SysV, RPM), UNAB provides the AIX native package format (installp) only.

Important!

To uninstall UNAB after a package installation, you must use the installp command.
UNAB uses the Pluggable Authentication Mode (PAM) and not the AIX Loadable Authentication Module (LAM) to authenticate users. Configure the AIX system to enable PAM before installing UNAB.
To prevent application failure, verify that the user IDs and primary group IDs do not originate from different user stores. For example, if the user ID originates from /etc/passwd and the primary group originates from Active Directory.
