Update technology level

Hello

I update one lpar from TL03 to TL06 reboot and check with lppchk -v, errpt and everything looks fine then I commit my fileset and I update to TL08-04.

The installation was ok. I reboot my machine again check with lppchk -v and errpt and its ok, but when I type oslevel -s I get this 5300-07-06-0844 and not this TL 5300-08-04-0844

I miss something?
How can I check to get the TL 53-08-04

I think miss some filesets and thats why I dont get the TL 53-08-04

The system its 5.3

Thanks for your replies

Try this:
# instfix -ciqk 5300-08_AIX_ML | grep ":-:" | more

You will get a colon delimited list of filesets (2nd field) that need to be updated in order for the system to be fully at TL8. The 3rd field is the required version and the 4th field is the current version.

Thanks for your reply homeyjoe

I type the instfix -ciqk 5300-08_AIX_ML | grep ":-:" | more

and I get this

5300-08_AIX_ML:ifor_ls.html.en_US.base.cli:5.3.8.0:5.3.7.0:-:AIX 5300-08 Update

oslevel -s
5300-07-06-0844

So you are basically at TL8, only the ifor_ls.html.en_US.base.cli fileset needs to be updated to 5.3.8.0 or higher.

instfix -ivk 5300-08_AIX_ML | grep : | grep not
Fileset ifor_ls.html.en_US.base.cli:5.3.8.0 is not applied on the system.


I have two question

I need to commit my fileset before I update this one.

My other question its In this link

IBM - Fileset information for: ifor_ls.html.en_US.base.cli

I can find the fileset that I miss but Its look like I download again the full TL

How can I update only this fileset.


Thanks for your replies

Or you could delete that fileset if it's not needed. I believe it's just the html page for the ifor license manager. Usually it's not a big deal for most people.

It used to be pretty easy to download one specific fileset level but IBM changed their site a year or so ago and now I don't know if it's possible. You may have to call IBM about getting just 5.3.8.0 for ifor_ls.html.en_US.base.cli fileset.
