Hello,
I was trying to upgrade TL on a lab server (test box). I did worked on (few) these type of SP and TL updates in the recent past. I saw the below message for the first time on server.
current OS level : 7100-03-01-1341
downloaded the newest/recent fix pack from fix central as explained below.
selected "SP 7100-04-02-1614" along with the requisite "7100-04-00-1543"
did not select "7100-04-011543"
When I was trying to preview the installation, i got below message.

I do not see a serious issue/failed message. I believe it will work.
But I would like to check with experts regarding this message. I usually see preview (pre-install verification) as success etc.
I believe we can directly update the system from " AIX 71 TL 03 SP 01" to latest " AIX 71 TL 04 SP 02"
Please provide your comments , is this normal ?
thanks

update: I do not know why there are "conflicting versions of filesets for which there
are multiple versions on the installation media."
just downloaded TL 04 SP 02 (by selecting requisite TL 04, not SP 01)

I am not able to find any info related to this particular fileset online.
Can we ignore "instfix -i | grep SP" command output since this is a TL update ?
Normally i never see this kind of issue after the upgrades. please suggest.
