# instfix -ik 5100-03_AIX_ML
There was no data for 5100-03_AIX_ML in the fix database.
$ instfix -ik 5200-01_AIX_ML
All filesets for 5200-01_AIX_ML were found.
$ instfix -ik 5200-02_AIX_ML
Not all filesets for 5200-02_AIX_ML were found.
Determine which filesets need updating to reach the 4.3.3.0-02 level:
instfix -ciqk 4330-02_AIX_ML | grep ":-:"
instfix -ciqk 5100-02_AIX_ML | grep ":-:"
instfix -ciqk 5200-01_AIX_ML | grep ":-:"
The command instfix -ciqk 5100-02_AIX_ML lists all the filesets.
If the fileset has a :=: then the fileset is at the maintenance level
5100-02_AIX_ML:bos.rte:5.1.0.25:5.1.0.25:=:AIX 5100-02 Update
If the fileset has a :-: then the fileset is below the
maintenance level
5100-02_AIX_ML:bos.rte:5.1.0.0:5.1.0.0:-:AIX 5100-02 Update
If the fileset has a :+: then the fileset is above the
maintenance level
5100-02_AIX_ML:bos.rte.methods:5.1.0.25:5.1.0.26:+:AIX 5
5100-02_AIX_ML:bos.rte.methods:5.1.0.25:5.1.0.26:+:AIX 5100-02 Update
You can use the -i flag to see the maintenance levels sometimes
# instfix -i | grep -i "aix"
