Unable to connect to NMC

Question

I have just installed the NMC on my AIX box but I am unable to connect to it. I am not sure if it is installed correctly as there is no instructions for AIX. I did the normal install through smit which put everything in /opt/lgtonmc
From there I ran /opt/lgtonmc/bin/nmc_config which appeared to configure it
When I run gstconfig I get
19140:gstconfig: Failed to create ODBC data source.
19141:gstconfig: Possible reasons include:
19142:gstconfig: HOME environment variable is not set correctly
19143:gstconfig: to the root user's home directory.
Configuration not updated.
Any help is appreciated

Looks as if environment hasn't been set correctly by script or you need to source (reread) profile after changes and then restart gstd.

No problems, you can install NMC on any box, and control any servers you have from there.

I have been messing around with this and even have EMC support working on it but because it is on AIX they do not have very many people that can figure it out.

I am about done messing with it and was wondering if there would be any problems with installing the NMC on a Windows Server 2003 box to manage an AIX 5.3 box?

The error message means that gstconfig cannot create the .odbc.ini under $HOME.
This looks like a permission problem on $HOME.

I suggest you log in as root and retry the gstconfig command.
If you are logged in as "user", make sure you "su - root" ( don't forget the hypen).

Give this a try. Update this thread with the result.
