Thank you Rich, for highlighting this. Going forward we will include all details. For this issue Efix removal job is already the part of that playbook. But only that target having issue.
Thank you for working on this.

Ok, so it sounds like it is an issue with an eFix being installed.
Add a task in the playbook to cleanup any eFixes before the AIX update.
However, if you want assistance from the group it's always better to provide actual information on what you are doing instead of partial output from an unknown command... ;^)

Hi Rich,
Only on one particular client we are getting that error. Rest working fine. Can we check anything on that particular node only. However, we remove the efixes manually then job successfully completed.

Hi Manoj.
From the output it looks like you are trying to run the AIX update from Ansible - so possibly the Automation group would be a better place to ask...
Anyway, the error is from the ibm.power_aix.emgr module not the ibm.power_aix.nim or ibm.power_aix.install_all_updates module.
Either this is because there is an eFix installed that is causing an issue, or you are using the wrong module ?
Try posting in the automation group & share the playbook (or appropriate segments) and full output along with the AIX Version details (current/upgrade).
Cheers
Rich
