Does such a concept as a "fileset dependency tree diagram" exist? Where at the top of the tree you will find base OS filesets, then further down you will see specific files within the filesets.
Basically I am wondering if installing APAR ____ or an individual fileset ____ has:
- all the necessary pre-requisites installed
- will require a reboot of the machine
Fileset dependencies can be found with:
# lslpp -d <your.fileset.rte>
For uninstall deps use:
# installp -ugp <your.fileset.rte>
To see whether a reboot is mandatory you can look into the .toc and check the fileset line for "b" (bosboot) or "N) (no bosboot). Example for a fileset that requieres bosboot:
0 032816422609 2
bos.clvm.enh.5.3.0.67.U 4 R S bos.clvm {
bos.clvm.enh 05.03.0000.0067 1 b U en_US Enhanced Concurrent Logical Volume Manager
and no bosboot:
0 032905193009 2
bos.rte.install.5.3.0.70.U 4 R SF bos {
bos.rte.install 05.03.0000.0070 1 N U en_US LPP Install Commands
