Unable to use Veeam Agent for IBM AIX after LIBPATH variable has been changed
Last update date:
11/27/2023
Affected products:
Veeam Agent for IBM AIX
Affected releases:
2.0
Fixed releases:
No fixed releases provided.
Description:
Challenge
In IBM AIX, it is possible to change the LIBPATH variable globally. However, doing so overrides the library loader domain configuration for all the applications running with system environment on that machine. If the LIBPATH is set to anything other than blank (default), the Veeam Agent for IBM AIX 'veeamconfig' and 'veeamsvc' will fail to operate. Example:
Solution
To resolve this, implement the workaround below, which will set the LIBPATH variable to an empty (blank) value before running Veeam Agent for IBM AIX binaries.
