my questions are
1) Can we directly upgrade to TL 02 SP 03 ? or first to TL 02 and then apply service Pack ?
2) I downloaded both TL03 files and other requisite together. is that correct way doing it?
3) Please let me know ,how to fix this ?

Thanks for your help. I do not see any errors other than above which i mentioned in the post.
But Final Status says " failed"
apart from that, i do not see any major errors. i guess pre-installtion verification failed too. (i can look in to it if it is really important)

rebooted the lapr and it looks good. i do not see any issues/errors. Bootlist is also looks good.
While it rebooting, it asked me to assign console terminal from HMC. I just ignored it by using ESC key.
thanks for your suggestion regarding the NIM.
appreciate it.
Sorry for the late reply. I was on vacation. This is a test/lab LPAR. It will not affect any other.
I am able to see the latest OS level on LPAR. but
after the upgrade it showing "failed" as i described above.

OK,
See the built date on 7100-01-06 is 1241, i.e, it was built on 41th week of year 2012, that been said, 7100-02-00 was also built during the same week '1241'. So, when you are trying to update from 7100-01-06 to 7100-02-03 , it will 1st go to 7100-02-00 and then jump to 7100-02-03 during the same process.
From 01-06 to 02-00, it is seeing the built date for bos.rte.install on 02-00 same as or below 01-06 and its complaining at that point, but remember you are bypassing that and further going to 02-03 which was released on 1334, i.e 34th week of 2013, and then supersede all those older filesets.
So, don't worry about that warning or error, what you actually be looking is after reboot it is coming to your desired level and with no missing filesets (which we already checked using lppchk -v command).
