AIX 5.2 fixes checking

[ogniemi]

Hello,
I have a "xlC.aix50.rte.6.0.0.9" in the AIXs 5.2 but every time I check fixes status with IBM site (via Fix Central:

http://www-912.ibm.com/eserver/support/fixes/fcgui.jsp)

it lists following updates for my systems:

Fileset name Protocol Info file Byte count
xlC.aix50.rte.6.0.0.0 HTTP FTP Info 18118656
xlopt.aix50.lib.1.3.2.0 HTTP FTP Info 452096
xlopt.tools.1.3.2.0 HTTP FTP Info 1852416


It makes no sense to install xlC.aix50.rte.6.0.0.0 having xlC.aix50.rte.6.0.0.9 so why it generates the list?


# lslpp -l xlC.aix50.rte.6.0.0.0

We would have to know what info you put in to generate the list (especially the Option drop-down list) to explain why you are getting the list you are. I went through the web site, chose the Latest Fixes, and the version of xlC.aix50.rte that comes up is 6.0.0.10.

In any event, if you download an older fileset, it's not going to be installed unless you choose the option to install an older version.

I followed procedure from the site. The software list was generated as recommended with "lslpp -Lc".

The "xlC.aix50.rte.6.0.0.10" was released yesterday but when I was checking it was yet not available - that is why is was not on the list.

Today, I run the procedure again (with the same "lslpp -Lc" file I created yesterday) and it shows the following now:

Fileset name Protocol Info file Byte count
xlC.aix50.rte.6.0.0.0 HTTP FTP Info 18118656
xlC.aix50.rte.6.0.0.10 HTTP FTP Info 19728384


So, "xlC.aix50.rte.6.0.0.10" is OK, but why it still lists "xlC.aix50.rte.6.0.0.0" ???

I don't know. Perhaps to make sure you have the base fileset? But it should know that from your list. The 6.0.0.0 file is 17 MB. Perhaps if you don't want to download you can delete it from the list of filesets that will be downloaded.
