Splunk Universal Forwarder On AIX Fails To Start After Upgrade To 8.0.2

Dear all,

I upgraded universal forwarder from 7.2.0 to 8.0.2 on AIX.

When i start it, i have encountered the below problem:

I have tried to run slibclean and re run upgrade again. but it still failed.

also, i have try to run 'splunk validate files' .

I believe the slibclean utility modified some Splunk binaries so now they fail the integrity check. Re-install Splunk to correct that.

for slibclean , i have try to do it and reinstall splunk but it still failed.

for AIX toolbox, as i can upgrade from 6.3.1 to 7.0.0 and then upgrade 7.0.0 to 7.2.0. but i cannot upgrade to 7.2.0 to 8.0.2.
