Hi Team,

Here are few updates on the buildfarm setup for AIX.
We got a latest Power9 node in OSU lab dedicated for Postgres
community development activity.

In the last couple of weeks, we have setup the buildfarm on a node in
OSU lab for all the supported versions of Postgres on AIX(13/14/15/16).

<https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_history.pl?nm=douc&amp;br=REL_16_STABLE&gt;

For other latest releases(17/18/master) we are planning to run them
locally on our node.

Currently we are seeing some issues in the TAP test for REL_16.

These tests were passing on other buildfarms (animals) , trying to
debug if there are any environment specific issues.

I think we need more info. Let's have a look at the
regress_log_001_password file.

Hi Andrew, Thanks for looking into this.

Attached are the log files, regress_log_001_password and 001_password_primary.log

This is the error I see in the regress_log_001_password file.

server started

# Postmaster PID for node "primary" is 15663422

[22:28:33.832](1.867s) ok 1 - scram_iterations in server side ROLE

IPC::Run: timeout on timer #1 at /opt/freeware/share/perl5/site_perl/IPC/Run.pm line 3007.

One additional script seems to be running on other animal(hornet) while running this test.

Please let me know if there is anything missing in the build environment.

Thanks,
