Hello,

I wanted to test AIX 6100-03-10-1119 and PowerHA 5.5.0.10 compatibility using Fix Level Recommendation Tool.
Yellow exclamation mark is shown near AIX level using these versions.

What does that mean:
a. Lots of updates are available for this AIX version(TL7 for example) and I'm recommended to update sometime.
b. AIX 6100-03-10-1119 and PowerHA 5.5.0.10 are incompatible and I should never install this combination.

We just have some problems with these software combinations and I'm wondering if it's compatibility or other configuration issues.

thanks,
Vilius

Hi Vilius,

The yellow warning sign shows that the AIX level you are on has reached (or will reach soon) EoSPS - End of Service Pack support.

http://www-304.ibm.com/support/customercare/flrt/report?os=aix&platform=power&mtm=9179-MHB&ghz=3.86&aix=6100-03-10&hacmp=5.5.0.10&reportname=&btnGo=Submit

I ran the same combo with an MTM (not sure which system you chose) and you'll see that the EoSPS for 6100-03 is 2011.08.06, that was the date when they stopped shipping service packs for TL3 (2 year lifecycle).

You'll also see a note about the PowerHA level:
Unverified combination: (AIX: 6100-03-10) (OS Family: AIX) (I'll check on this note)
PowerHA for AIX 5.5 (HACMP) reached end of service support on 30 April 2012. You should consider upgrading to PowerHA for AIX 6.1 or PowerHA for AIX 7.1 at your earliest convenience.

I'll verify that our help message is more 'helpful'. Thanks for the question!
