Yes, that happens sometimes when installp doesn't get all the pre- co- and if-requisites right. I routinely rerun updates multiple times until nothing gets installed any more. It is the same with updating NIM-resources, btw., and the same remedy: run the update multiple times.

One of the quirks of AIX which grow on you after some twenty-plus years with this "MVS-light" :-))

[root@testlpar]/>oslevel -sl 71-03-071614
Fileset                                 Actual Level       Service Pack Level
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
devices.pciex.df1028e214105d04.rte      7.1.3.0            7.1.3.46

I am not able to find any info related to this particular fileset online.

Can we ignore "instfix -i | grep SP" command output since this is a TL update ?
Normally i never see this kind of issue after the upgrades. please suggest.

You can maybe even deinstall it. It is a driver for a 2port 10GbE card. According to a lslpp-output it contains:

Code:

PCIe2 10GbE 2-port GX++ Gen2 Converged Network VF Adapter Software

I hope this helps.
