    Hi,

    You can use the lssw command as padmin, it gives you the last update date/time for each fileset or efix :

    $ lssw -hist

    Tou can look at the last update date for fileset bos.rte.install which is always the first updated fileset when updating a VIOS :

    $ lssw -hist | grep -p bos.rte.install
      bos.rte.install
                      7.3.3.0   COMMIT       COMPLETE     11/19/24     01:40:42

    Regards.
