Receiving error message while starting Splunk on AIX7.2

Dear Splunkers,

I am trying to install Splunk 7.0.7 version universal forwarder on an AIX7.2 machine. While doing so I got the below error after giving splunk start --accept-license command.

After the start command, It has checked for the prerequisites and got the below error after the message "All preliminary checks passed."

Error: “The splunkd Subsystem could not be started. Please check subsystem resources and try again later.”

Any thoughts on this?
