    how to achieve it with suma (and to not download any extra updates for filesets my system has not installed).
    thx,!

    This option appears to allow you to file the TL, but you may find it's not possible to download only parts of a TL/SP any more.

    FilterSysFile
    Specifies the name of the file containing the list of installed software to
    filter against (generated with lslpp -Lc) or the name of a system to filter
    against. If filtering against the local system, "localhost" should be used. If
    no filtering against installed software is desired, /dev/null should be used.
    In a NIM environment, a NIM client can be specified.
