Install the Trend Cloud One or Trend Micro Deep Security agent on supported AIX endpoints.

Important
Important
To deploy the Trend Vision One Endpoint Security agent with Server & Workload Protection features, download and deploy the agent package from Endpoint Inventory. For more information, see Deploy agents.
Agents deployed using software downloaded from Administration in Server & Workload Protection do not have full compatibility with Trend Vision One and lack support for certain security features including:
  • Endpoint Security Policies
  • Version Control Policies
  • Endpoint Sensor XDR functions
  • Data Security Sensor
  • Cyber Risk Exposure Management
Additionally, Endpoint Inventory might flag these endpoints with errors or support issues. Trend Micro recommends only using this method for testing purposes or troubleshooting with your support provider.
If you are attempting to deploy an agent to a version of AIX no longer supported by Trend Vision One, Trend Micro recommends using a connected Trend Micro Deep Security Manager to manage the endpoint. Please be aware that unsupported operating systems might pose greater security risk. For more information about connecting your Deep Security Manager to Trend Vision One, see Connect existing products to Product Instance
Before you begin, review the following:

Procedure

  1. Copy the downloaded agent package to the endpoint you want to protect.
    Note
    Note
    Some agent packages are contained in a ZIP file. If your package is contained in a ZIP file, extract the file before continuing.
  2. If you extracted a ZIP file, move the GZ file to a different location outside of the extracted folder.
  3. Extract the GZ file using gunzip.
    The extracted agent installer is the file with a BFF extension.
  4. Place the BFF file in a temporary folder such as /tmp on the AIX computer.
  5. To install the agent, run the command /tmp> installp -a -d /tmp/<agent_BFF_file_name> ds_agent
    Where <agent_BFF_file_name> is the agent installer file with the .bff extension.
  6. Use the following commands to start or stop the agent, or to load or unload the agent driver.
    • Start: startsrc -s ds_agent
    • Stop: stopsrc -s ds_agent
    • Load the driver: /opt/ds_agent/ds_fctrl load
    • Unload the driver: /opt/ds_agent/ds_fctrl unload
    After you successfully install the agent, review the following steps to finish setting up your environment:
