Upgrading AIX from 5.1.0 to 5.1.1 via install.sh may fail with "A newer version is already installed (5.1.15.600)" -
说明
When upgrading an AIX system from version 5.1.0 to 5.1.1 via install.sh, the following error may be returned; resulting in the upgrade not completing:
Executing command: 'vasclnt'... ERROR: A newer version is already installed (5.1.15.600)
-
原因
The 5.1.0 AIX packages were inadvertently labeled as version 5.1.15.600 instead of 5.1.0.15600. This can be seen when viewing the detail via lslpp:
# lslpp -l -a | grep vas
vasclnt.AIX_7_1.rte 5.1.15.600 COMMITTED Safeguard Auth Services
vasclnt.AIX_7_1.rte 5.1.15.600 COMMITTED Safeguard Auth Services
This causes the upgrade to fail with the error 'ERROR: A newer version is already installed (5.1.15.600)' -
解决办法
STATUS: This will be addressed in a future release of the product.
WORKAROUND: In order to install the newer 5.1.1.4200 packages over the wrongly labeled 5.1.15.600 packages, you would need to manually run the installp commands with the -F option, to force the base install, thus ignoring the version numbers.
E.g.
cd client/aix-71
installp -acFXd vasclnt.AIX_7_1.5.1.1.4200.bff all
installp -acFXd vasgpAIX_7_1.5.1.1.4200.bff all
