Description:
There is no MEM agent installer for IBM i5/OS V5R4 32bit.

How to repeat:
compare supported platforms for mysqld [http://www.mysql.com/support/supportedplatforms/enterprise.html] with available / supported agent platforms [http://mysql.com/support/supportedplatforms/enterprise-monitor-agent.html]

Carsten,  There was an update for this from Bitrock that should have been in 2.1.0.1039.  Can you test the aix5.3 installer on this platform again?  Keith

using the AIX 5.3 32bit agent installer, the installer seem to work fine but the agent fails to start. Tested on i5os-04, installed in default dir "/opt/mysql/enterprise/agent":

I forgot ... I used the 2.1.0.1043 installer

We should just build on the i5 box itself and see if that fixes the problem.

SIGAR is not ported to i5/OS. I could earlier make it compile using
 two patches, but now when SIGAR is changed and broken out from the
sources, development need to do a proper port of SIGAR. The trouble
is that i5/OS PASE AIX emulation lacks "perfstat", and no "-lodm -lcfg".

As Kent said a while go: SIGAR doens't support i5/OS yet.

Either we have to implement it or we ask Hyperic to do it ... or we just not support it.
