I cannot fully apply ML6 to my 7009-C20

The devices.pci.14107802 is *not* on my 5.1 ML2 installation media,
when I try to download the baselevel fileset from fixcentral I cannot
get it on the list.

But what the hell do I need a driver for a PCI-X SCSI controller on a
Microchannel machine? Have I missed a note that ML6 cannot installed on
not PCI-X machines?

With ML5 there was no such problem.
How can a very common package depend on a very special???
This applies both to devices.scsi.disk.diag.com.5.1.0.54 and 55.

I had the same problem installing on my 7043-140 machine. I was able to
install all the PCI-X packages even though there are no PCI-X ports. It
really doesn't matter since it will not find any it will just have the
drivers for them installed. I did find the base level fileset from fix
central. and then was able to install the fixes to that fileset to be able
to install the ML

A C10/C20 is a MC machine, and a PCI device driver fileset will have
further dependencies.

Will try to repackage and simply remove the dependency-line in lpp_name
tomorow.
If it will not work, oslevel -r will still show 5100-05
Mostly a cosmetic matter...

Problem solved:
1.)
mkdir work && cd work
restore -xvf ../devices.scsi.disk.diag.com.5.1.0.54.bff > bff.lst

awk '{print $3}' bff.lst > bffcreate.lst

2.) delete last line (the bytes restored note) from bffcreate.lst

3.) edit ./lpp_name and delete the line with
"*coreq devices.pci.14107802.rte 5.1.0.2"

4.) repackage with
"cat bffcreate.lst | backup -ivqf devices.scsi.disk.diag.com.new.bff"

5.) apply the update, and voilà: oslevel -r 5100-06!!!

The removed dependency fileset can now manually installed if needed, or
not. The disk diags works without it.

This document might be helpful. It refers to ML_5 but I used it when
applying ML_6 to my 5.1 box because of the fileset dependency
correlation.

Hope this helps someone......

An alternate to the good old
instfix -icq | grep _ML | grep ":-:"

But in this case the machine was at 5100-05 before the update
and the devices.scsi.disk.diag.com update was rejected with the named
dependency by smitty/msmit.

Still have no clue why this dependency made it into the "lpp_name".

I am having the same problem with devices.pci.14107802 on PCI-machine
(7038-6M2) moving from ML-05 to ML-06.

MISSING REQUISITES: The following filesets are required by one or

AVAILABLE REQUISITES: You specified that requisite software should

installed automatically had the selected filesets passed all

I downloaded
devices.pci.14107802.rte 5.1.0.0
devices.pci.14107802.ucode 5.1.0.0
from fixcentral and tried to install them.
But I am getting message that they cannot be install.

oslevel -r shows me ML-05.

Does anyone solve this problem ?
