Reason: Added CODE tags
ibmtech, I have not updated live servers at all, I have always worked in a test environment or at a DR site.
I have two disks hdisk0 and hdisk1
hdisk1 is the altinst_rootvg, which I am booted into right now.
I have copied all the filesets in /tmp/7.1.3.3 now (I just downloaded fresh filesets from fixcentral) with prerequisites.
Will the base filesets reside in these fixpacks I downloaded or not??
and yes I only saw 6.1 file installed, I couldn't find the 7.1 version.
which means I need the base DVD right?? 7.1.0.0
btw I have 7.1.1.4 DVD will that have the base filesets or not??
IBMTECH,
Does all the DVD's have base filesystems in them unlike files downloaded from fixcentral??
I have a few versions of DVD's disc and disc 2.
I will log back in once I go home, I have mounted 7.1.1.4(Disc 1) in my nimserver right now. So once I get home I will check the files in it.

Now what does this mean? Does it mean I have to have the very base level filesets??
