Prerequisites for Infosphere v9.1

Hi,

We want to install Infosphere v9.1 and the manual illustrates the below requirements. I am not good at unix. So want to clarify and know whether I am going the right direction.

Prerequisites are below
Code:
All AIX 6.1 technology levels and fix packs are supported.

Processors: RISC POWER5, POWER6, and POWER7 processors

The Asynchronous I/O Extension (AIO) package is required.

For DB2 10.1 support  the following is requried:

xLc comipler version 11.1.0.1 or above.
AIX 6.1 Technology Level (TL) 6 and Service Pack (SP) 5
6.1: 6.1.0.0-06-05

For WAS 8.5 support: IBM i 6.1 POWER System and future OS versions and fix packs



How can I check for
Code:
a) The Asynchronous I/O Extension (AIO) package
b) IBM i 6.1 POWER System and future OS versions and fix packs
c) AIX 6.1 Technology Level (TL) 6 and Service Pack (SP) 5
6.1: 6.1.0.0-06-05
d) xLc comipler version 11.1.0.1 or above.

This is a certain version of the operating system installed. Issue a oslevel -s and watch the output. For instance "6100-00-01-0748" would mean:

6100: AIX 6.1
00: Technology Level 0
01: Service Pack 1
0748: Build date: the 48th week of 2007

You mean "compiler". This is IBMs C/C++ compiler. Check with "lslpp" if it is installed (read the man page of "lslpp" first) and if it isn't then get it installed. You may need to purchase a license for it first, check this with your IBM sales representative.

Describes the hardware you need (obviously) and the OS version. See above for details.

a) The Asynchronous I/O Extension (AIO) package
Hmm, don't know about this one. AIO (Asynchronous I/O) is a part of the systems kernel and can be enabled (per default it is in AIX 6.1) and tuned (doesn't need to be tuned, though, usually). I am not aware of any "Extension Package" you might need to use it. Check back with the software provider and find out what they really mean.

I hope this helps.

I have executed the below commands, didn't understand whether our system satisfies the above condition


Code:
$ lsdev -C -c processor
proc0 Available 00-00 Processor
proc4 Available 00-04 Processor
$ lscfg -vp -l proc0

  proc0              Processor

  PLATFORM SPECIFIC

  Name:  PowerPC,POWER7
    Node:  PowerPC,POWER7@0
    Device Type:  cpu
$ $ lscfg -vp -l proc4
  proc4              Processor

  PLATFORM SPECIFIC

  Name:  PowerPC,POWER7
    Node:  PowerPC,POWER7@4
    Device Type:  cpu

I have executed below command to check for the compiler version. Does the below mean I have 11.1.0.2 (We have AIX 6.1 version currently)

Code:
$ lslpp -L | grep -i xlc
  xlC.aix61.rte             11.1.0.2    C     F    XL C/C++ Runtime for AIX 6.1
  xlC.cpp                    9.0.0.0    C     F    C for AIX Preprocessor
  xlC.rte                   11.1.0.2    C     F    XL C/C++ Runtime
  xlC.sup.aix50.rte          9.0.0.1    C     F    XL C/C++ Runtime for AIX 5.2

Good. I have marked bold the important part. It says you have a POWER7 system, which passes your requirement. If you want to know more details about your system try a

Code:
lsattr -El sys0

or a

Code:
prtconfig

  xlC.sup.aix50.rte          9.0.0.1    C     F    XL C/C++ Runtime for AIX 5.2

The command was the right one, the requirement is not fulfilled, though. This is only the runtime part of the compiler system: shared libraries, etc.. It is needed to let programs compiled with the compiler actually run, but it is not the compiler itself. Once the compiler is indeed installed you will get some more result lines with the compiler itself (not sure, about 10 or so) issuing the command you did.

I hope this helps.
