I had the same problem, and got the answer from this NG a couple of
months ago.
try
oslevel -l 4.3.0
which will show all the Filesets with older versions.
IIRC the answer was to put the AIX CDROM in and do a smitty update_all.

Hi Peter,

Yeah, you have filesets that were not migrated to 4.3.2..

do this from the prompt;

oslevel -l 4.3.2.0 ; this will display those filesets that werent migrated.
You can install them manually or delete the ones not needed..

Good Luck
Barry.

The "oslevel -l 4.3.2.0" command will show the filesets that are installed
that are below the required level to be 4.3.2.0.

Other useful commands are:
oslevel -g # lists the filesets that have been updated beyond the
# base maintenance level

oslevel -q # lists the known maintenance levels.

I have visions of screaming with (at and about) Microsoft software, too.

There's a know problem with i/forls that messes up oslevel in 4.3.3.
Check with support center.

Having had this problem in the past answered on this group, I can tell you
how to solve it!

Type oslevel -q which will show you the known maintenance
levels, then type
oslevel -l 4.n.n.n where the n's are your highest known level e.g.
oslevel -l 4.3.2.0

This will list the filesets that are 'down level' i.e. not at the latest
level. Only once these have been updated will your oslevel report the full
correct value.

To update, put you AIX cd in the drive and do a smit update_all
It will pull in from CD all of the filesets that are downlevel, and your
oslevel will then display the correct value.

Lawry

Is there a URL where these sorts of things are announced?

Try "oslevel -l 4.3.2". It will tell you the datasets lower than AIX 4.3.2.
