    (Technology Level 5300-07-00-0747) from IBM fix central.
    After installation and reboot, I get the following

    st-ibm22a:$ oslevel -s
    5300-06-03-0732
    st-ibm22a:$

    Why is the oslevel showing the TL level as TL06 SP3 instead of TL07..?

    Any idea.

    Thanks

    The output from your installp command should tell you which filesets were missing.

    instfix -ic | grep ":-:"

    might give you a clue as to what's missing.

    With instfix, I can see that I am
    I need to update the following fileset

    IZ01709:devices.vtdev.scsi.rte:5.3.7.0:5.3.0.30:-:Virtual devices report incorre
    ct standard inquiry length
    So, My next question is why is the latest version of this fileset not aleady included in the TL07 Fix Pack.

    Thanks

    Try the following commands to find which fileset is downlevel:
    oslevel -sq
    This will show all the known service pack levels. Choose the highest known pack and run:
    oslevel -sl 5300-07-##-####
    The output will tell you which packages are downlevel.
    Also, you will want to run:
    lppchk -vm3
    to find any broken packages.

    I had the same problem some days ago. The only way to solve this is to delete the fileset devices.vtdev.scsi.rte.
    The problem here is that a base level 5.3.7.0 is needed and can't be downloaded.
    In the other hand, devices.vtdev.scsi.rte is not needed because it's supposed to be part of the VIOS software.

    the latest version of the fileset
    devices.vtdev.scsi.rte
    by downloading the fix for
    the corresponding APAR number.

    But, I am still getting the following

    $ oslevel -sl 5300-07-02-0806
    Fileset Actual Level Service Pack Level
    <hr />
    invscout.rte 2.2.0.10 2.2.0.12
    $ oslevel -r
    5300-06
    $ oslevel -s
    5300-06-03-0732
    So my next question, is there a way to download the single fileset invscout.rte? When I go to IBM fix central, it is forcing me to download a whole servie pack which I do not want to do.

    Thanks

    on 19-02-08 was released an APAR to download devices.vdevice.IBM.v-scsi-host.rte.5.3.7.0 and
    devices.vtdev.scsi.rte.5.3.7.0.

    Some time ago it was possible to download specific fixes. It's a pain, but this option was removed.
