Summary: How to install and configure Tivoli Directory Server in AIX.
Date: 17 September 2010
Refactor: 29 April 2025: Checked links and formatting.
To check if your kernel is in 64bit mode, as well as your hardware: run the command below:
bootinfo -K bootinfo -y
Both commands should return 64.
ITDS 6.x requires at least maintenance level 5300-01:
oslevel -r
The command should return at least a level of 5300-01
You should have these filesets at a minimum level as displayed:
xlC.aix50rte 6.0.0.0 X11.adt.lib 5.1.0.0
Install missing filesets through nim:
nimclient -o cust -a lpp_source=lpp_5300_06_07 -a filesets=X11.adt.lib
Both the LDAP server instance as the DB2 instance need a user and a group associated with it.
Make a local user group:
mkgroup ldapgrp
Make a local user:
mkuser pgrp='ldapgrp' groups="ldapgrp" rlogin='false' sugroups='ALL' su='true' SYSTEM="COMPAT" loginretries='10' maxage='0' maxrepeats='8' minlen='5' minother='1' maxexpired='-1' minalpha='3' minage='0' histsize='0' histexpire='0' fsize='-1' cpu='-1' data='-1' stack='-1' home=/var/data/ldapusr ldapusr
Make sure the root user is using the korn shell by default and is member of the ldapgrp group:
The following amounts of RAM are recommended for each directory server instance:
IBM Tivoli Directory Server (including the client, server and the database) requires about 2 GB of disk space.
/usr: 512 MB /opt: 512 MB /var/data: 1 GB /tmp 1 GB for temporary access
To turn on asynchronous I/O:
Installation consists of 2 parts:
Go into the db2 directory and issue db2_install:
root@tds:/tmp/IBM_APPS/db2/db2>cd ..
root@tds:/tmp/IBM_APPS/db2>./db2_install
Specify one or more of the following keywords,
separated by spaces, to install DB2 products.

There are two fixpacks that need to be installed, one for directory server and one for db2:
