Hi

I've been working my way through a number of AIX 5.3 ML3 boxes, taking them up to ML5 sp3, when I found a box saying it was at base 5.3. As all our images are a minimum of ML3 I can only presume this may have started out as a test box. Anyway:

* oslevel -s reports 5300-00-00
* lppchk -v reports nothing
* lslpp -l shows all software is committed
* instfix -i | grep ML | grep -i "Not all filesets" reports
Not all filesets for 5300-01_AIX_ML were found.
Not all filesets for 5300-02_AIX_ML were found.
Not all filesets for 5300-03_AIX_ML were found.
* instfix -ick 5300-00-00 | grep ":-: reports nothing

If I remember rightly, AIX requires all filesets for ML1 to be isntalled before the oslevel -s reports its at ML1, and so forth for subsequent installs.

So....

How do I find out which ML1, then 2, then 3 filesets are missing so I can get it to 5.3 ML3, before continuing as with the others to ML5 sp3?

Thanks in advance.
 
Doh! Just seen the reply to nmorph below. I'll give that a go.

 
Try oslevel -rl 5300-03 to find which filesets were not migrated.

try this :
instfix -ivk 5300-03_AIX_ML | grep not | grep ':'

Thanks

Those commands told me that the following was missing for ML1

Fileset Actual Recommended
devices.pci.14109f00.rte 5.3.0.0 5.3.0.10

And a couple of Java packages were missing for ML2 and 3.

I've got these from the Fix Central site and now it is OK
 
Hello,

You need to try this command :

instfix -ick 5300-03_AIX_ML | grep :-:

It will be better.

Bye
 
excuse me,

instfix -icqk 5300-03_AIX_ML | grep :-:
