Fileset Missing in PowerPath 5.3 SP1 for AIX

I am looking for some information on the EMCpower.consistency_grp fileset.  I am working on an update package in our lab to update PowerPath from 5.3 to 5.3 SP1.  PowerPath 5.3 contains the following filesets:

lslpp -L EMCpower.*
  Fileset                      Level  State  Type  Description (Uninstaller)
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  EMCpower.base              5.3.0.0    C     F    PowerPath Base Driver and
                                                   Utilities
  EMCpower.consistency_grp   5.3.0.0    C     F    PowerPath Consistency Group
                                                   Extension and Utilities
  EMCpower.encryption        5.3.0.0    C     F    PowerPath Encryption with RSA
  EMCpower.migration_enabler
                             5.3.0.0    C     F    PowerPath Migration Enabler
                                                   and Utilities
  EMCpower.mpx               5.3.0.0    C     F    PowerPath Multi_Pathing
                                                   Extension and Utilities

The PowerPath 5.3 SP1 download contains the following where as you can see the EMCpower.consistency_grp fileset is no longer present.

lslpp -L EMCpower.*                          
  Fileset                      Level  State  Type  Description (Uninstaller)
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  EMCpower.base              5.3.1.0    C     F    PowerPath Base Driver and
                                                   Utilities
  EMCpower.encryption        5.3.1.0    C     F    PowerPath Encryption with RSA
  EMCpower.migration_enabler
                             5.3.1.0    C     F    PowerPath Migration Enabler
                                                   and Utilities
  EMCpower.mpx               5.3.1.0    C     F    PowerPath Multi_Pathing
                                                   Extension and Utilities

I have not been able to find any documentation or discussions on whether or not this fileset is obsolete as of SP1.  So I am basically looking for confirmation that this is the case, or if this is a problem with the SP1 download.   If anyone can provide any insight, it would be most appreciated.

Hi.  Support for Consistency Groups was removed in PP 5.3 SP1 for AIX.

This was noted in both the 5.3 and 5.3 SP1 Release Notes.

Thanks, Brion
