  and could not be found on the installation media.

    bos.aso 6.1.0.0                           # Base Level Fileset

  AVAILABLE REQUISITES:  You specified that requisite software should be
  automatically installed.  Additional filesets (1) would have been
  installed automatically had the selected filesets passed all requisite
  checks.

bos.aso 6.1..0.0 doesn't exists (IBM Fileset information for: bos.aso - United States)
I tried to manually install bos.aso 6.1.8.0 and 6.1.8.1 but it says this :

Code:

I tried to manually install bos.mp64 6.1.8.0, but it also require bos.aso 6.1.0.0.

I'm stuck ... Could you help ?

Thx

The reason is in the output with quite a detailed explanation:
Code:
MISSING REQUISITES:
...
bos.aso 6.1.0.0                           # Base Level Fileset

The updates for this fileset can't be applied since the base level fileset is not installed.
Either leave them away or get a base level fileset for it. If you need it, look on your installation media for AIX.

No base level fileset = no updates.

If you don't need ASO and just want to get pass the errors, try a installp -C for a clean up.

To check if your patches have been applied succesfully, you can issue
Code:
$ instfix -i | grep ML
    All filesets for 6.1.0.0_AIX_ML were found.
    All filesets for 6100-00_AIX_ML were found.
    All filesets for 6100-01_AIX_ML were found.
    All filesets for 6100-02_AIX_ML were found.
    All filesets for 6100-03_AIX_ML were found.
    All filesets for 6100-04_AIX_ML were found.
    All filesets for 6100-05_AIX_ML were found.
    All filesets for 6100-06_AIX_ML were found.
    All filesets for 6100-07_AIX_ML were found.
    All filesets for 6100-08_AIX_ML were found.

as I said, bos.aso is a "new" fileset/functionality for Power7, automatically installed ant it's a requisite for others.

In this link : IBM Fileset information for: bos.aso - United States , you'll see that it doesn't exist before 6.1 TL8.

It's not already installed.

You did not write that - that's new info; check your 1st post.

Anyway, check your update media or whatever you have downloaded if there is a fileset bos.aso 6.1.8.0. Also try to check the link you posted, if you can download bos.aso 6.1.8.0 from there.
If you find it, try to install it 1st before you go for the update.

That it is not installed says the error message in your 1st post already...

- I downloaded TL8 (SP0) then I install the same fileset from this download : it works ...

Thx for your help.
