Howto apply patches to AIX 4.3.2 1

[progressdll]

We need to patch our AIX 4.3.2 to level 4.3.2_02
How would i do this

This is what i have so far.

1) First i tried to find the patch level we are on
# instfix -i | grep AIX_ML
All filesets for 4.3.0.0_AIX_ML were found.
All filesets for 4.3.1.0_AIX_ML were found.
All filesets for 4.3.2.0_AIX_ML were found.

So we are on level 4.3.2.0 ( right ? )

2) go to IBM to get the patch

http://service.software.ibm.com/rs6k/fixdb.html

fill in the query
So i choose version 4 with fix 4320-02
and get 2 results back:
IY00411
IX89889

Which one do i need or do a need both. Is the order of applying important?

Before i start applying, i would like to know what you think. What are the
things we should think about before applying
any patches.

Thank you,

I'd suggest browsing to:

http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/rs6k/ml.fixes.html

and download Package 4.3.0 -> 4.3.3 which brings your system to 4.3.3 and then a well-tested 4.3.3 -> 4.3.3 ML 09 or brand new ML10

all 4.3.2 fixes are included in 4.3.3, and even more in ML fixes

(It will requre two consequential reboots as fixes are applied)
