# Ganglia server (collector)
rpm -Uhv ganglia-gmetad-3.4.0-1.aix5.3.ppc.rpm
rpm -Uhv ganglia-gweb-3.5.2-1.aix5.1.noarch.rpm

Additionnal task to do: 

ln -s /var/www/htdocs/ganglia/conf /var/lib/ganglia/conf
mkdir /var/lib/ganglia/dwoo/compiled
mkdir /var/lib/ganglia/dwoo/cache
chown apache.apache /var/lib/ganglia/dwoo/compiled /var/lib/ganglia/dwoo/cache

Update the collector configuration file as following: 

[root@monitor1]/etc/ganglia# cat gmetad.conf
....

...

Start the collector: 

[root@monitor1]/etc/ganglia# /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/Sgmetad start
Starting GANGLIA gmetad... done.

RRD database is located by default into /var/lib/ganglia/rrds
