Is AIX 6.1 supported backward compatible with the latest universal forwarder ?

jeanfrederic — Mon, 11 May 2015 17:51:26 GMT

When I want to download the latest forwarder, version listed as AIX 7.1 and AIX 8.1.

What happen if I have AIX 6.1 ?

Thanks

I believe 6.1 is supported and the information on the download page is not correct. I have raised the issue with Support and will update this posting when I have the answer.

I have confirmed with Support: the text on the download page is incorrect. It should read AIX 6.1 and 7.1.

See http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.3/Installation/Systemrequirements#Supported_Operating_Systems for the correct information.

Support is updating the text on the download page. Sorry for the confusion!

You could try to ask it from Splunk Support or your account manager.
