One of my servers is AIX 5200-08. Id like to apply ML10. When I do so
oslevel -r reports 5200-09. When I run oslevel -rl 5200-10 it reports

Fileset Actual Level
Recommended ML
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
bos.net.snapp 5.2.0.0
5.2.0.105

I was not sure how to find why this failed so - I tried an install_all
and selected the bos.net.snapp fileset only. This is failure part of
the output

New volume on /data/fixes/installp/ppc/./bos.net.snapp.5.2.0.105.bff:

sysck: 3001-017 Errors were detected validating the files
for package bos.net.snapp.

0503-464 installp: The installation has FAILED for the "usr" part
of the following filesets:
bos.net.snapp 5.2.0.105

I see what the error is - how to fix it remains the issue... Can I
safely remove the base level bos.net.snapp? Any ideas are appreciated.

Hi,

this look like that somebody deleted AIX group "snapp". Have a look into your
/etc/group file. Since this fileset is an update fileset and not a base level
fileset the group "snapp" will not be recreated.

So my suggestion to solve the issue is to try to recreate group "snapp". to be
sure what the original GID has been, i think you should check ls -l
/usr/sbin/snappd.
