Hello..

One of my customer system p550 came with AIX 5.3 TL6 preloaded from IBM plant.. They want to upgrade their OS to TL7. We downloaded AIX 5.3 TL7 from below attached IBM site and instaled in the machine without any problem. But, after installation completed it shows TL8.
oslevel before TL7 upgrade

1. oslevel -r

5300-06
oslevel after TL7 upgrade

1. oslevel -r

5300-08

What is your problem?
That you downloaded the wrong TL or that /usr increased when you installed the TL you had downloaded and you took the option to increase the filesystem size when installing it?

Hi,

On my opinion you tought you've been on TL6 fully, because the oslevel output.
But I'm pretty sure that you system already got some but not all TL8 fixes.
Before the update, there were some TL8 fixes already. And only all the fixes to TL8 were complete. For that reason oslevel show you TL6 instead.
I will rcomended to use the lppchk command and instfix command to debug such kind of situations.
