We recently upgraded a number of servers from AIX53TL6 to AIX53TL7SP3. However, during a routine audit, some servers have "oslevel -s" showing 5300-06-06-0811 and others showing 5300-07-03-0811. oslevel -g shows 5.3.7.0 level of bos.rte is installed. Trying to reinstall the service pack says all filesets already installed. Any ideas where to go from here?

Thanks

Try
oslevel -rq # check known TL
oslevel -rl 5300-07 # list filesets below specified level (5300-07)
or
oslevel -sq # check known SP
oslevel -sl 5300-07-03 # list filesets below specified level (5300-07-03)

If my memory serves me right there was some fileset added in the TL7 which required that you had to perform the update_all procedure twice - first to install the base level and the second time to patch it to the latest level.

So simply try to perform update_all again on the same TL7SP3 package - it should fix this.

Have you run the lppchk -v to see what the OS thinks is missing?
I would look at that also.

Good luck.

The commmand that I like to use is "instfix -icq |grep :-:" This will list the fileset updates that the server "knows" exists but aren't installed. Just use this command and grep for ML. Review the output and look for anything that is listed for TL 7 (i.e. 5300-07_AIX_ML).

Hope this helps.
