The universal forwarder is documented in the Distributed Deployment Manual, starting with the topic Introducing the universal forwarder. The Unix instructions are generic but should provide what you need.

[INCORRECT, see following comments: Note, however, that Splunk 5 is only supported on AIX 5.3, 6.2, and 7.1. Not 6.1.]

The error in the documentation has been fixed. Splunk does support AIX 6.1.

Well, don't hate me, but there is not such a thing like aix 6.2. It should be error in doc. It seems just aix 6.1
