    Hi,

    I am trying to upgrade PowerHA 6.1 to the latest service pack 12. I have downloaded many service packs of 6.1 into a directory and issued "smitty update_all". Although many cluster packages were upgraded to the latest, however i am not able to upgrade the bellow packages.

    cluster.es.spprc.rte & glvm.rpv.server.

    It is failing with prerequisite cluster.es.spprc.rte 6.1.0.3  &  glvm.rpv.server 6.1.0.1.

    Someone  please suggest me from where to find the above mentioned patches versions. 

    I did downloaded many service packs between SP1 to SP12, but i am  not finding the the above mentioned prerequisites.

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks & Regards,

    Shashi Kanth.

    It seems files cluster.es.spprc.rte.6.1.0.3.bff and glvm.rpv.server.6.1.0.1.bff are both part of the SP12. If you do not have them, I suggest downloadind SP12 again, making sure download is successfull.

    Well, somehow I have downloaded them last October as a part of SP12 download - although now I cannot swear it was a direct part of a standard SP12 download from FixCentral, too much time since I did this.

    Here are links to these filesets info (including download links):
