I'm not a BigInsights expert, but looking at the errors messages I wonder:

1. Are you installing as root, or an sudo-ed user?

2. Are you attempting this install on a read-only (i.e. NFS perhaps?) file system?  Or a file system where your user does not have permissions?

There seem to be many error messages with an inability to create files.

There's a lot of pre-requisite work that needs to be performed:

Actually, now that I'm looking around, I don't see AIX as a supported operating system, only Linux.

I clicked on Version 2.1 requisites.
