FAILURES
--------
Filesets listed in this section failed pre-installation verification
and will not be installed.
Requisite Failures
------------------
SELECTED FILESETS: The following is a list of filesets that you asked to
install. They cannot be installed until all of their requisite filesets
are also installed. See subsequent lists for details of requisites.
NOTE: One or more fileset updates in this list are flagged with "*".
These updates supersede (i.e., replace) updates which you
selected. Newer level fileset updates will always be
automatically chosen instead of the fileset updates they
supersede when the "auto-install" option (i.e., "AUTOMATICALLY
install requisite software" or -g flag) is specified.

WARNINGS
--------
Problems described in this section are not likely to be the source of any
immediate or serious failures, but further actions may be necessary or
desired.
Already Installed
-----------------
The number of selected filesets that are either already installed
or effectively installed through superseding filesets is 1. See
the summaries at the end of this installation for details.
NOTE: Base level filesets may be reinstalled using the "Force"
option (-F flag), or they may be removed, using the deinstall or
"Remove Software Products" facility (-u flag), and then reinstalled.
Superseded Fileset Updates
--------------------------
Fileset updates listed in this section will not be installed. Newer
updates which supersede (replace) these were selected instead (either by
you or automatically by the installation program). Make sure that the
superseding updates listed passed pre-installation verification.

What should I do first to properly install the apar mentioned above? And if I will be successful installing it. Does it need reboot? How do you know if a certain apar/software update/install needs reboot?
Thanks in advance.
