Seeding the PRNG failed

I support an ETL integration platform running on AIX 6100-07-06-1241 64 Bit. 

We connect to SQL Server database using Data Direct SQL Server driver. 
The setup that we have is as below: 

[EJ_Voyager] 
QEWSD=2456231 
Driver=/opt/sw/infasvp/ODBC6.0/lib/DWsqls24.so 
Description=DataDirect 6.0 SQL Server Native Wire Protocol 
Database=Auth 
Address=XXXXXX,1441 
ValidateServerCertificate=0 
EncryptionMethod=1 
PacketSize=32 

Last week, the SQL Server team switched from a Self signed certificate to an
CA signed certificate. 
Right after they did that, the connections failed. 
Even if we create a trust store and configure it in odbc.ini file, the same
error is coming. 

[infasvp] /home/infa/infasvp $ /opt/sw/infasvp/ODBC6.0/ssgodbc.aix64 -v -d
EJ_Voyager -u MSQLReporting -p ********* 
Error for thread 0 
{error} STATE=08001, CODE=6240, MSG=[Informatica][ODBC SQL Server Native
Wire Protocol driver]Seeding the PRNG failed, most likely because the system
does not have /dev/random. 
[infasvp] /home/infa/infasvp $ 

The random files are present and with appropriate permissions. 

[infasvp] /home/infa/infasvp $ ls -ltr /dev/*random 
crw-r--r--    1 root     system       33,  0 Nov  4 13:22 /dev/random 
crw-r--r--    1 root     system       33,  1 Nov  4 13:22 /dev/urandom 
[infasvp] /home/infa/infasvp $ 

Can you please hlep us understand why this failure is happening.
