AIX 4.3.3. ML8

[Guest_imported]

I have just installed AIX 4.3.3 and I need to upgrade it to AIX 4.3.3 ML8 so Iplanet/JDK can run properly. Can anyone assist me on upgrading AIX4.3.3. to AIX4.3.3 ML8.

Do a check of your software to be sure it is stable before upgrading
Make sure the installed Licensed Program Products are consistent:

#lppchk -v

You should get no output from the preceding command. Any output is error
output and should be corrected.
#llpchk -c
Make sure none of you filesets have been broken:

#lslpp -l|grep BROKEN

Make sure all of the user definitions are correct in the user database:

#usrck -n ALL

Do the same for the groups:

#grpck -n ALL



put the update cd in the drive
smitty update_all
and let it run...............

when you are done

instfix -i | grep ML

Whatever level says not complete
# instfix -ivk 4330-08_AIX_ML|grep not | grep ':'
it will tell you what you need to update to make it a full maintenance release....
you may have to get off the web...

Lastly netscape breaks if you are at 4.3.3.08...it is the libc.a issue....so if you run netscape...be aware....

Hi

check also:

Command oslevel, then: grep :-: /tmp/.oslevel.mlinfo.cache
This Command shows if there are some missing filesets in AIX 4.3.3.0 Base-Installation.

Good Luck
