I found the solution to my install problem.

TSM requires several RPMs to be installed to use the graphical
installer. Apparently it is very picky about which versions of those
RPMs are installed.

http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v7r1/topic/com.ibm.itsm.srv.install.doc/t_srv_inst_gui-aix.html

We had some of those at newer versions than what was specified. We ended
up removing them and then installing the correct versions. Once that was
done the installer worked as it should.

I'm attempting to install TSM 7.1 on an AIX box for the first time.
Did anyone else notice that the install.sh script is missing a "!" in
the first line? It has "#/bin/sh" and it should have "#!/bin/sh". It's
an easy fix, but makes me wonder about the quality of the rest of the
code.

After working around that it's throwing memory errors (see below),
which I have a PMR open on. Has anyone else had this problem and found
a solution? I Googled for people reporting either of these issues and
didn't find anything, which seems odd, especially the install script
issue. I can't be the only one to try to install it on AIX.

I'll post the fix when I figure it out or get it from IBM.

Bonus points for beating IBM support to the punch. ;-)

Thanks!
