ML level went backwards?
Hi all. I've been put in charge of updating one of our AIX 5.2 servers to ML7. (perhaps not wise since I'm an absolute n00b, but hey, it's good experience to fly by the seat of one's pants).
So:
a) I typed "oslevel -r" and got back "5200-04"
b) I went to IBM's Fix Central and downloaded ML7 files to a directory on the AIX server
c) ran inutoc <directory name>
d) smit update_all
and ran through everything. The only problems the log showed was:
I) Pre-installation Verification...
WARNINGS
--------
Problems described in this section are not likely to be the source of any
immediate or serious failures, but further actions may be necessary or
desired.
Conflicting Versions of Filesets
--------------------------------
The following filesets are conflicting versions of filesets for which there
are multiple versions on the installation media. Since a specific version
was not selected, the newest installable version has been selected.
invscout.rte 2.2.0.4 # Inventory Scout Runtime
Multiple install types for same fileset
---------------------------------------
The following filesets have both a base-level and an update fileset on the
installation media at the same level. Since they have the same name and
level, the last fileset on the installation media will be used.
Java14.sdk 1.4.1.6
<< End of Warning Section >>
II) Installation Summary:
invscout.rte 2.2.0.4 UNKNOWN APPLY UNKNOWN
After all was done, I rebooted the server and when it came back, I did "oslevel -r" and got back "5200-03"
Huh? How the heck did we go backwards? Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

renamefset
renamefset(8) System Manager's Manual renamefset(8)
NAME
renamefset - Rename an existing AdvFS fileset
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/renamefset domain oldfileset newfileset
OPERANDS
Specifies the name of an existing AdvFS file domain. Specifies the name of a fileset in the domain. Specifies the new name for the file-
set.
DESCRIPTION
The renamefset command assigns a new name to an existing fileset within an AdvFS file domain. Before renaming a fileset, unmount the file-
set and its clone fileset, if there is one.
After renaming a fileset, update the corresponding entries in the /etc/fstab file to reflect the name change.
RESTRICTIONS
Because clone filesets are read-only, they cannot be renamed.
You must be the root user to use this command.
Each fileset within a domain must have a unique name of up to 31 characters. All whitespace characters (tab, new line, space, and so
forth) and the / # : * ? characters are invalid for fileset names.
EXAMPLES
The following example changes the name of the credit_fs fileset in the accounts_dmn file domain to new_credit_fs: # renamefset accounts_dmn
credit_fs new_credit_fs
