    Greetings,

    on 2 of our servers we get a problem when patching the machine with one fileset:

    installp: The build date requisite check failed for fileset devices.pciex.14103903.rte.
    Installed fileset build date of 0818 is more recent than the selected fileset build date of 0747.
    installp: Installation failed due to BUILDDATE requisite failure.

    instead of oslevel 5.3 TL9 SP3 it shows 5.3 TL4 CSP. The actual level is way below it should be:

    lslpp -h "devices.pciex.14103903.rte"
    Fileset Level Action Status Date Time
    Path: /usr/lib/objrepos
    devices.pciex.14103903.rte
    5.3.0.0 COMMIT COMPLETE 01/12/08 16:30:21
    5.3.0.1 COMMIT COMPLETE 04/18/09 21:49:58

    Does anyone know how to persuade him that "NO, this is not an older fileset i'm trying to give you in this later patch"? Thanks for answer in advance.

    hi,

    a higher fileset can also be an older one, e.g. 5.3.9.1 may be older than 5.3.8.5, thus you should
    try to determine you highest installed service pack. it does not need to be complete for being investigated!

    instfix -i| grep -e ML -e SP -e AIX
