lppchk failed with the lower level of the emc packages in aix?

lppchk failed with the lower level of the emc packages in aix?



lppchk  issue for the lower level of the emc packages.

We have received some filesets consistency issue after we migrated to 7.1.5.2

testlpar# lppchk -vm3
lppchk: The following filesets need to be installed or corrected to bring the system to a consistent state.
bos.rte v<7  (Not installed: requisite fileset)

lppchk: The following descripes  dependencies  from installed filesets on one or more of the filesets to a consistent state.
Fileset EMC.Symmetrix.aix.rte 5.3.0.9 requires bos.rte v<7
Fileset EMC.Symmetrix.fcp.MPIO.rte 5.3.0.9 requires: bos.rte v<7
testlpar#


Solution:

Such issue is related to low level fileset installed on AIX 7.1.

The fileset which is causing such issue are EMC.Symmetrix.aix.rte EMC.Symmetrix.fcp.MPIO.rte. and Fileset EMC.Symmetrix.aix.rte 5.3.0.9 requires: Bos.rte v<7


As all the disks are VSCSI (We can confirm using lsdev -Cc disk) . Hence such fileset is not required by your AIX. (It is recommended to contact EMC to check regarding removal of such fileset)
