Hi all,

I am upgrading an aix system from aix 61 tl6 sp 7 (6100-06-07-1207) to AIX 61 tl8 sp3.

After the upgrade oslevel -s shows: 6100-06-01-1043

I detemined the higest service pack level using oslevel -qs (6100-08-03-1339).

Then I used oslevel to determine the missing filesets. (oslevel -sl 6100-08-03-1339). It came back with bos.aso. I installed that fileset. And ran oslevel again. The system is still not up level.  But oslevel -qs 6100-08-03-1339 reports nothing back.

Ik determined the missing filesets using "instfix -ic | awk -F ':' '$5 ~ /-/ {print $2}' | sort -u"

It comes back with bos.ecc_client.rte

Once I installed that fileset the system is up to level.

Is this a bug in the oslevel command? I think it should have reported the second fileset as well. Or am I missing something?

 TIA

Hello Goed Morgan,

If I understand your issue correctly post upgrade you were supposed to see AIX 6.1 TL8 SP3 and in reality it did not. Actually did you try to run lppchk -v post the upgrade ? Thats something which should be run post any upgrades / installations to determine if everything is ok or anything went wrong. If lppchk command shows no errors 99.99 times you should see the desired OS level. 

Oslevel -sl might say that it will display the fileset which are below the desired level sometimes you goto use multiple commands to determine the same:

lppchk -v  --> Check installation error

instfix -i | grep -i ml --> Check if all filesets for different technology level are found.

did you by any chance happen to run lslpp -l | grep bos.ecc_client.rte to check actually which level it was on ? 

Regards

Thanks for your reply,

Here spme answers

lppchk reports no errors.

Your instfix suggestion is basicaly the same as mine. Mine displays only the not installed filesets by filtering trough awk.

The bos.ecc_client.rte is at is basic level. (6.1.6.0)

What does the ecc_client fileset do?

Hello,

Assuming that you ran lppchk -v on a system which is already upgraded successfully, so obviously now lppchk might not show the error as you already fixed it, what I m trying to tell you is next time you do an upgrade and you see similar error, try running lppchk -v command to see if that reports any you the missing fileset.

All my answers aply to the non fixed system. So lppchk does not report errors after the upgrade

hello,

Well if thats the case the best option would be to approach IBM Software support team and log a call with them. They should be in a best position to answer you question. Once you do this and you have a reply from IBM do post it here. I am curious to find out the cause. :)
