    during the update there was a lack of diskspace in /usr so the update failed.
    after arranging more diskspace i have continued the update to SP2 and it works ok, but the output from oslevel -s = 5200-TL8-SP1 instead of SP2.
    all the filesets are good updated, how do i get the oslevel command so far that it also thinks everything is SP2 ?

    If this still fails, run " oslevel -r -l 5300-TL8-SP2" to display which filesets need to be upgraded for the system to be at TL8-SP2.

    Hope this helps!

    thenks for your response.

    oslevel -s -f still gives 5200-08-01
    oslevel -r -l 5200-TL8-SP2 (or 5200-08-02) gives :
    Error: Recommended Maintenance level 5200-08-02 is invalid or unknown.

    if i look at IBM the only fileset belonging to SP2 =
    bos.net.tcp.client 5.2.0.87 COMMITTED TCP/IP Client Support
    and this is installed on the system.

    Hope you have any suggetions

    Run the following two cmds. You should see no output. If you get something, update the fileset(s) you see.

    instfix -ciqk 5200-08_AIX_ML | grep ":-:"
    instfix -ciqk 5200-08-02_SP | grep ":-:"

    the command 'instfix -ciqk 5200-08-02_SP | grep ":-:"'
    shows:5200-08-02_SP:X11.motif.lib:5.2.0.86:5.2.0.85:-:AIX 5200-08-02 Servicepack
    a lslpp on the fileset gives a status 'BROKEN'

    i have installed the file-set and the oslevel -s shows 5200-08-02
