If you install PE frequently, you may encounter an error such as:
0503-283 : Error in the Software Vital Product Data. The "usr"
part of a product does not have the same requisite file
as the "root" part. The product is: ppe.poe 3.2.0.0
This usually means that there is an incompatibility in the Object Data Manager (ODM). This could be as a result of installing a version of a product where prerequisites may have changed.
You need to remove the entries for a product from ODM. The following set of commands removes the entries for POE (the ppe.poe fileset). To remove entries for a different fileset, replace ppe.poe in the following commands with the appropriate fileset name.
ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos odmdelete -o product -qlpp_name=ppe.poe ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos odmdelete -o lpp -qname=ppe.poe ODMDIR=/etc/objrepos odmdelete -o product -qlpp_name=ppe.poe ODMDIR=/etc/objrepos odmdelete -o lpp -qname=ppe.poe
