The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Updating AIX 5.2 to 5.3 requisite failure

Asked by mirde in IBM AIX Unix

Tags: AIX 5.2 AIX 5.3, IBM, RS/6000, P55

Hello,

I am trying to update our base OS to 5.3, currently it is running AIX 5.2, the output of "oslevel -r" is:

5200-03

Initially i tried to boot to our AIX 5.3 CD to update the OS, once I selected the update it failed saying that BOS could not mount or something..

Then I found that I could also do "install_all_updates -d /dev/cd0" from the cmd, which output the following:

FAILURES
--------
  Filesets listed in this section failed pre-installation verification
  and will not be installed.

  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.

    bos.rte.install 5.3.0.50                  # LPP Install Commands

  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.

    bos.rte.install 5.3.0.0                   # Base Level Fileset

  << End of Failure Section >>

I am not really sure what I need to do to get this fixed?

This is one of our old machines collecting dust and I wanted to use it to learn AIX, so I am trying to update to 5.3 first. Any help??

Thanks!
