Operating Systems AIX How to apply aix 5.3 TL8 properly on ML5 aix system ? Post 302246258 by zaxxon on Monday 13th of October 2008 07:17:36 AM

If you want to apply a ML/TL properly, you'll have to follow the installation documentation that comes with it. If you want to skip any step or something, I bet your support might ask, if you have followed the steps in that documentation and if you say you didn't, they might pick that up and ask you to do it that way.
For single user mode, I can't say if it is definetly necessary, but I guess they want just to make sure, nothing else connects to the box.
Maybe you can get along with a /etc/nologin but if you want to be totally sure, you do a correct update, follow the docu which comes with every ML/TL.

We don't have TL8 yet live, we have currently max. 5300-07-02-0806 installed. If you don't have a dire need for applying TL8, I would not apply it^^ I think always 1-2 versions behind is ok - no idea how new TL8 is though.

nologin

NOLOGIN(5)						      BSD File Formats Manual							NOLOGIN(5)

NAME

     nologin -- file disallowing and containing reason for disallowing logins

DESCRIPTION

     The file /etc/nologin, if it exists, causes the login procedure, used by programs such as login(1), to terminate.	The program may display
     the contents of /etc/nologin to the user before exiting.

     This file is a simple mechanism to temporarily prevent incoming logins.  As such, the file /etc/nologin is created by shutdown(8) five min-
     utes before system shutdown, or immediately if shutdown is in less than five minutes.  The file /etc/nologin is removed just before
     shutdown(8) exits.

     To disable logins on a per-account basis, see nologin(8).

     The file /etc/nologin has no affect on the login procedure for the root user.

FILES

     /etc/nologin  The nologin file resides in /etc.

EXAMPLES

     NO LOGINS: System going down at 18:22

SEE ALSO

     login(1), ftpd(8), nologin(8), rshd(8), shutdown(8), sshd(8)
