AIX

Dear Members,

Recently we migrate from AIX 5.2 to AIX 5.3, before migration system state was stable but after migration when I check system state with lppchk command it shows bos.rte v=5, r<3 file sets are missing but when I check bos.rte by lslpp command it is present and in committed state, other file sets are also in committed and applied state no one in broken state. How can I resolve this problem?

Regards,

Couple questions for you:

1) What tech level are you supposed to be at?
2) Which flag(s) are you using with lppchk?
3) What does 'oslevel -s' show?
4) What does 'instfix -i |grep ML' show?

1) We are at AIX 5.3 TL8
2) lppchk -v
3) 5300-08-05-0846
4) All filesets were found from ML-01 to ML-08

Regards,

Try doing 'lppchk -m 3 -v' and see what you get. It should give you more detailed info about what needs to be corrected.

Hi,

its a normal behaviour that the fileset is broken after the upgrade - as you have stated - the package bos.rte v=5, r<3 is impacted (so the AIX 5.2 'kernel'- what doesnt bother you because you're now running bos.rte v=5, r=3 - but since AIX remembers, that it was once used, you still get this during your checks. So you can safely ignore the output.
I am pretty sure that lslpp -L | grep bos will show your current, active and committed fileset as 5.3.x.x and not as 5.2.x.x - am I right ?

Kind regards

lppchk: The following describes dependencies from installed filesets on one or more of the filesets listed above:

Fileset devices.sddpcm.52.rte 2.1.3.0 requires:
bos.rte v=5, r<3

ok so you need to upgrade your SAN stack - we do use EMC and needed to upgrade our powerpath software - I assume you use DS6000 or DS8000 and have a particular SAN software on your boxes that was meant for AIX 5.2 and now you need to replace it with similar for AIX 5.3 ?
