    I guess as the beta is closed now, AIX 6.1 queries go in this forum ?

    Well, heres my issue.

    My global partition is at 6100-00-02-0750, with 2 system wpars running.

    I have installed the latest openssl filesets into the global partition.

    openssl.base 0.9.8.4 COMMITTED Open Secure Socket Layer
    openssl.license 0.9.8.4 COMMITTED Open Secure Socket License
    openssl.man.en_US 0.9.8.4 COMMITTED Open Secure Socket Layer
    openssl.base 0.9.8.4 COMMITTED Open Secure Socket Layer

    Now, when i try and sync the system wpars, i get this error ;

    root@aixtest01:/# syncwpar syswpar1
    *******************************************************************************
    Synchronizing workload partition syswpar1 (1 of 1).
    *******************************************************************************
    Executing /usr/sbin/syncroot in workload partition syswpar1.
    syncroot: Processing root part installation status.
    syncroot: ATTENTION, Root part is currently synchronized, but there are other
    SWVPD inconsistencies. Please execute "/usr/bin/lppchk -v" for more information.
    syncroot: Returns Status = FAILURE
    /usr/lib/wpars/wparinstcmd: 0960-231 ATTENTION: '/usr/sbin/syncroot' failed with return code 1.
    syncwpar: 0960-264 Error synchronizing workload partition syswpar1.

    Return Status = FAILURE.
    from the system wpar syswpar1, i run lppchk -v, and get this ;

    root@syswpar1:/# /usr/bin/lppchk -v
    lppchk: The following filesets need to be installed or corrected to bring
    the system to a consistent state:

    sysmgt.pconsole.rte 6.1.0.0 (not installed; requisite fileset)

    This package is installed in the global partition though ;

    root@aixtest01:/# lslpp -l | grep sysmgt.pconsole.rte
    sysmgt.pconsole.rte 6.1.0.1 COMMITTED System P Console Runtime
    sysmgt.pconsole.rte 6.1.0.0 COMMITTED System P Console Runtime
    Any ideas what the problem is ?

    quick update.

    I tried un-installing sysmgt.pconsole.rte and its dependant filesets from the global partition, and i no longer get the error when syncing the wpars.

    root@aixtest01:/# syncwpar -v -A
    *******************************************************************************
    Synchronizing workload partition syswpar1 (1 of 1).
    *******************************************************************************

    syncroot: RPM root packages are currently synchronized.
    syncroot: Root part is currently synchronized.
    syncroot: Returns Status = SUCCESS
    Workload partition syswpar1 synchronized successfully.

    Return Status = SUCCESS.
    I guess this is a bug.

    This fileset was a problem in the Beta as well. What you need to do is take that fileset and every other fileset you have that you do not want to install into the wpar and run from global:
    swvpdmgr -p <fileset>

    This isn't explained enough in the Redbooks and I'd like to see more info on it as part of AIX 6 best practices.
