Error description

  • Installation of the IDAA accelerator server needs to be enhanced
    for removal of ISOdx package.
    ISOdx is an (obsolete) diagnostic tool installed on Netezza
    that was used internally by support.
    IBM needs to remove the ISOdx monitoring software from the
    Netezza boxes.
    This request is NOT related to any security vulnerabilities,
    known malfunctions or software defects, but rather more specific
    to removing software no longer used for diagnostic purposes.
    Additionally, removal of this software will reduce filesystem
    utilization from system generated snapshots, which may
    contribute to directory /opt becoming exhausted.
