Hello to all,

I downloaded and applied all the recommended filesets for a
4.3.3.0->4.3.3.04 update from the ibm site, without any problem, using
'smitty update_all' in the current directory. Why is the 'oslevel' still
producing the same output (4.3.3.0)?

Thanks,
-- Yannis

Hello Yannis,

The installation of a maintanance level will not
change the oslevel. To look at the ML installed
use instfix (e.g. instfix -i | grep "4330")

use command instfix -ik 4330-04_AIX_ML to see if the maintenance level is
installed. This is from the docs which came with our upgrade CD. I think it
is horrible too.

oslevel does not show fix levels. To see fix levels try
lslpp.

The command replied:
'Not all filesets for 4330-04_AIX_ML were found'

What else do I possibly need (and where to find it)?

Thanks again...

I installed all of 43304ML as well and my oslevel returns 4.3.2.0 ( yes
that's a 2 ). Go figure that.

The appropriate instfix command indicates I have everything put a few Java
filesets, which I don't want ( I'm at 1.1.6, 43304ML expects 1.1.8 ).

I do have an old 4.3.2.0 perfstat filestat that is required for an Oracle
product ( OWAS ), and I suspect that it is why oslevel shows the bad level.

I believe that you'll get this if not all 4.3.3 packages were updated to
4.3.3.04. lslpp -l should show if this is true.

You can find a information which fileset is not updated in
"/tmp/.oslevel.mlinfo.cache" or "filename with .oslevel* in /tmp dir"

# vi /tmp/.oslevel*
:
( installed fix status informations )
:

Use pattern search with ":-" in vi like this

/:-

I hope this is helpful....

won't report maintenancle levels. use: instfix -ik 4330-0X_AIX_ML
where X is the maintainence level:

woohah:/home/ksquire >oslevel

woohah:/home/ksquire >instfix -ik 4330-01_AIX_ML

woohah:/home/ksquire >instfix -ik 4330-02_AIX_ML

woohah:/home/ksquire >instfix -ik 4330-04_AIX_ML

woohah:/home/ksquire >instfix -ik 4330-05_AIX_ML
