oslevel -s

Hi All,

Would like to know what files or file sets are referred when the 'oslevel -s' command is executed, and the mechanism that it uses to give us the output regarding the ML and the SP level of the machine. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Regards

I think this is what you're looking for (from the man pages: man oslevel).

Code:

Examples
       1    To determine the maintenance level of the system, type:

            oslevel
       2    To determine the file sets that are below level 4.1.2.0, type: oslevel -l
            4.1.2.0

       3    To determine the file sets at levels later than the current maintenance
            level, type: oslevel -g

       4    To determine the highest recommended maintenance level reached for the
            current version of AIX(R) on the system, type:

            oslevel -r
       5    To list all known recommended maintenance levels on the system, type:

            oslevel -rq

One more useful "oslevel" command variation

If you apply a new TL or SP and find that the oslevel -s command shows a level lower than expected, the command "oslevel -rl" will indicate the down-level filesets. So if you've upgraded to 5300-06 and the oslevel -s command shows "5300-05-02", the command "oslevel -rl 5300-06" will list all the down-level filesets.
