There is a paragraph named "Missing filesets" in the output you provided. Install these filesets, as is explained in detail there.

And if I will be successful installing it. Does it need reboot? How do you know if a certain apar/software update/install needs reboot?

Put the fileset in question in a directory and run "inutoc ." as root. A file named ".toc" will be created which holds all the dependency and other information about the package in (more or less) readable form. In the first line of the package description you see some flags. If a "b" or "B" is among them the package needs reboot, otherwise not.

I have no machine at hand, so i can give you only general directions, no example. I suggest trying that with two packages one of which is known to need a reboot and you will see the difference in the .toc-file.

multibos with aix53 hacmp45

Hi All, Is multibos really needed on each sp update on a hacmp config? Is someone using it? I have an up coming update and I don't have time to understand this technology. Does SP update might screw you up and you can't restore properly from it? Thanks for any idea in advance.

reboot

REBOOT(8)						      System Manager's Manual							 REBOOT(8)

NAME

       reboot - reboot the system immediately

SYNOPSIS

       reboot [-f]

DESCRIPTION

       Reboot  can  be	used  to  reboot  the  system  after  installing a new kernel.	It does not inform the users, but does log it's actions in
       /usr/adm/wtmp and /usr/adm/authlog.  The system is then rebooted with the reboot(2) systemcall.

       If the -f flag is not given then all processes are sent terminate signals to give them a chance to die peacefully before the reboot() call.

       If the wtmp file exists, reboot logs itself as if it were a shutdown.  This is done to prevent last(1) from talking  about  system-crashes.
       Reboot is registered as is in the authlog file.

       Reboot can only be executed by the super-user.  Any other caller will be refused, either by reboot(8) or by reboot(2).

SEE ALSO

       reboot(2), shutdown(8), halt(8), boot(8).

BUGS

       The  error message's given by reboot are not always useful.  There are several routines that can fail, but which are not fatal for the pro-
       gram.
