TSM 5.5 client installation problem on AIX 5.3

[greenyez]

I am in my way to upgrade to TSM 5.5. The AIX client installation keep complains about missing pre-requ. Why does it need AIX 6 os and c ++ lib??? I believe it is a bug. Anyone know how to fix it? Please help.

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 6.0.0.0 # Base Level Fileset
xlC.aix61.rte 9.0.0.0 # Base Level Fileset

Here is my AIX server info, it fit all requirements listed on installation doc.
--> oslevel -r
5300-06

--> lslpp -l bos.rte
Fileset Level State Description
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

--> lslpp -l bos.rte.libpthreads

I've installed the 5.5 client on AIX 5.3 servers without any problems. The xlc that it is asking about ships with the client and should install it as a pre-req (if you don't already have it installed)

Do you have any errors if you run an "lppchk -vm3"?

lppchk -vm3 return nothing
I just download the 5.5.0.4 client and i will give another try. I will post the result.

Same problem. Missing pre-req.
The xlC come with the client image are following. They already superseded by 9.0.0.0.

Here are the list of xlC come with the client image.
xlC.aix50.rte.08.00.0000.0000.bff
xlC.aix50.rte.08.00.0000.0004.bff
xlC.rte.08.00.0000.0000.bff
xlC.rte.08.00.0000.0004.bff


Here is what I got on my server
--> lslpp -l | grep xlC.aix
xlC.aix50.rte 9.0.0.3 COMMITTED XL C/C++ Runtime for AIX 5.2
--> lslpp -l | grep xlC.rte
xlC.rte 9.0.0.3 COMMITTED XL C/C++ Runtime

Call IBM and open a PMR.

thanks for helping anyway.. i am little disappointed with TSM supports on AIX.. I was expecting no problem for AIX client at all. So i got all other clients upgraded. Now I am back on tsm5.4.

Hi,

Just had the same issue whilst installing TSM 5.5.0.6.
I managed to solve it by first ensure there were no old filesets for any previous version of TSM, then i updated the gsksa.rte by performing a smitty update_all in the dir i unpacked the TSM client code, prior to start the installation of any TSM filesets.

Once completed i installed all the filesets sucessfully.

Regards
