Problem description:

Customers may experience issues when updating to AIX 6100-06-05-1115

Example messages are:

0503-465 installp: The build date requisite check failed for fileset
devices.pci.1410bd02.rte.
Installed fileset build date of 1119 is more recent than the selected
fileset build date of 1115.

installp: Installation failed due to BUILDDATE requisite failure

Note: Many filesets may report these issues during the update.

Environment:

Updating from:
6100-03-10-1119, or
6100-04-10-1119, or
6100-05-06-1119

to:
6100-06-05-1115

Circumvention:

Option 1:
Customer may wait until the next SP is released to update to TL6

Option 2:
Customer may attempt to reject current SP. If the reject is completely
successful, attempt an update to 6100-06-05-1115.

Option 3:
Download a customized .toc file from IBM and install the update.


To install the  customized .toc perform the following steps exactly in
order:

1) Download the 6100-06-05 updates from Fix Central at:
http://www-933.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/aix/selectFixes?release=6.1&function=release


Select the Service pack: 6100-06-05-1115 checkbox and the Technology Level:
6100-06-00-1036 checkbox, which is displayed when the Show/Hide Requisites
twistie is activated.
Click continue.
Download the Service Pack and Technology Level.
Total download size is approximately 4.7 Gig.

Copy the Service Pack and Technology Level into an empty directory
accessible to the system being updated.

2) # ftp public.dhe.ibm.com
   name: anonymous
  password: any_string
  ftp> cd software/server/supporttools/tocfile
  ftp> asc
  ftp> get 6100-06-05.new2.toc
  ftp> bye
  #

Place the 6100-06-05.new2.toc file in the same directory as the Service
Pack and Technology Level downloaded from Fix Central.
Rename the 6100-06-05.new2.toc file to .toc.
Suggest making a copy of the .toc file because if you somehow accidentally
rebuild the .toc file, the updates will no longer work.

3) Perform the TL update using the directory containing the Service Pack
and Technology Level with the new .toc file.

Note:

1) The customer must download the updates from Fix Central, since the
filenames must be in U#####.bff format.
2) The customer should not rename any of the update files, or transfer them
using any method that will rename the files.
3) The customer cannot add or remove any update files from the downloaded
updates.
4) The customer should not rebuild the .toc file.  Doing so will undo the
changes in the new .toc and the update will not work.
5) This procedure only works with systems running 6100-03-10-1119,
6100-04-10-1119, or 6100-05-06-1119.
