I ran into this problem recently. In a nutshell, you can't install both
the required "gskta" and "tivoli.tsm.client" filesets in one pass.
(Chicken and egg dependency problem?)

The workaround I found was to make two passes through "smitty installp".
The first time select and install the "gskta" filesets. The second time
through, select and install the client filesets.

I've installed this client level on AIX on three or four different
machines, and each time the workaround was required, and each time it
was succcessful.

Subject: [ADSM-L] AIX 5.1.1.0 Client install fileset issue

Hello all,

I downloaded the Aix 5.5.1.0 client and I am trying to do the install  I
did a preview install first an it failed with the following  message.

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.

    gsksa.rte 7.0.4.11                        # Fileset Update
    gskta.rte 7.0.4.11                        # Fileset Update


Apparently these filesets are required for the 5.5.1.0 Aix client, Where
would I get these files from?  Has this issue come up for anyone?

Thanks in advance for any help!
