Maintenance levels?

[markiemark]

Just a quick question about AIX maintenance levels. We have just installed ML8 on a machine that previously had ML6 installed. The machine is now showing that not all filesets from ML7 have been installed, but as far as I was concerned ML8 should have updated everything for previous levels.

Anyone else seen this before?

Cheers

Very common...


To see what needs to be installed to bring you up to a particular
maintenance level:

# instfix -ivk 4330-06_AIX_ML|grep not | grep ':'

and find out what is not installed....
You do for all levels that say not all filesets applied...

ie # instfix -ivk 4330-07_AIX_ML | grep not | grep ':'

-----------------------------
or
If the output indicates that not all filesets are found, you can also
determine which filesets are not updated using the command:
instfix -ciqk 4330-08_AIX_ML | grep ":-:"
and
oslevel; grep :-: /tmp/.oslevel.mlinfo.cache

Find the filesets that are not updated...and get the patches for them...or delete them if they are obsolete....or replaced...

Then run
instfix -i |grep ML
to see if all is well...after applying patches that were missing.
