I was attempting to install the new AIX Runtime Expert on an LPAR today. I found that the base level fileset for this new utility was not included with the supporting Technology Level i.e. TL4 for AIX 6.1.

 

I was presented with the following 'Requisite Failures' message:

 

  Requisite Failures

  ------------------

  SELECTED FILESETS:  The following is a list of filesets that you asked to

  install.  They cannot be installed until all of their requisite filesets

  are also installed.  See subsequent lists for details of requisites.

    artex.base.rte 6.1.4.1                    # AIX Runtime Expert

 

  MISSING REQUISITES:  The following filesets are required by one or more

  of the selected filesets listed above.  They are not currently installed

  and could not be found on the installation media.

 

    artex.base.rte 6.1.0.0                    # Base Level Fileset

 

However, I discovered that the base fileset IS included with the latest Fix Pack for the Virtual I/O Server i.e. FP22 for VIOS 2.1.

I was then able to install the base filesets i.e. the AIX Runtime Expert and the sample profiles. i.e.

 

artex.base

 + 6.1.4.0  AIX Runtime Expert

 + 6.1.4.0  AIX Runtime Expert sample profiles

 

After the filesets installed successfully I needed to then apply the latest level from TL4. e.g.

 

# oslevel -s

6100-04-00-0000

 

# instfix -i | grep AIX

    All filesets for 6.1.0.0_AIX_ML were found.

    All filesets for 61-03-020939_SP were found.

    Not all filesets for 61-04-010944_SP were found.

 

I applied the update at this point.
