    This is actually on a VIO server, but the issue is when I try to run any command related to filesets (commit, remove, update, asf), I receive:

    geninstall -pu -I "p -J -w" -Z -f File 2>&1

    File:
    sysmgt.cim.providers.smash

    *******************************************************************************
    installp PREVIEW: deinstall operation will not actually occur.

    0503-257 installp: Error: Multiple compatibilty entries in the supersedes
    data of a fileset are not currently supported. A fileset may only have
    one name different than its own in its supersedes data.
    The fileset in error is:
    sysmgt.cim.providers.smash 1.2.9.0
    No idea what's causing this, or where this data exists. Any recommendations are appreciated.

    try the command 
    
lppchk -v
    or 
    
lppchk -c
    to see if any fileset is dameged, and try to cleanup install failure by running the command: 
    
installp -C

    Thanks, but tried that.

    lppchk -v returns the same error as I listed before
    lppchk -c runs clean
    installp -C does not find a broken lpp's

    I can re-install, but this install and patch update is so recent, it would surprise me if I just didn't end up in the same situation again.
