Hi

I have an AIX5.3 ML4 box which I want to bring up to TL8. After I run in the TL8 software, I can see that a lot of the filesets have been upgraded to 5.3.8.0, however when I run oslevel -r it still shows 5300-04. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Any Help Appreciated

Mick
 
You're probably missing some fileset updates

for TL 8 run this

[tt]oslevel -r -l 5300-08[/tt]

to find out which filesets are lower than 5300-08

for service packs, run first this

[tt]oslevel -s -q[/tt]

to find out which service packs are known to the system. Then
run this:

[tt]oslevel -s -l [red]5300-06-06-0811[/red][tt]

(substitute your desired service pack).
To find out which filesets are lower than the desired SP.

See the man page for oslevel for more info.



HTH,

Thanks p5wizard

I'm getting the following:

ukdrimage:root:/dba/software/oracle10.2.0.1 $ oslevel -r -l 5300-08

So is it just the two devices.msg.en_US filesets that need to be updated to bring me up to TL8?

Mick
 
Just read the output: your actual level for those filesets (1.2.0.0 in both cases) is not what it should be (1.2.0.2 and 1.2.0.1).




HTH,

Cheers p5wizard, i'm tracking down those two filesets and hopefully then oslevel will show up as 5300-08.

Thanks again.

Mick
 
Even one fileset update missing will give you what you are getting and a language update missing is often the reason.
