    Hi,

    My machine is at this version:
    1. oslevel -s
    5300-08-10-1015

    I am trying to upgrade to: 5300-09-04-0920

    I downloaded the patch and the *.bff files are all in the following dir:
    /usr/sys/inst.images

    I followed the instructions on how to update but I am getting stuck
    because the command: smit update_all does not like the location where
    the files are(see above dir) when it asks me the following:

    "INPUT device / directory for software"

    Am I missing a step or what is it expecting exactly as answer?
    TIA,
    Omar

    My first thought is that you are missing a .toc file. Did you create one after you downloaded all the patches?

    Thanks for your prompt reply. I had created the .toc file according to install instructions and here it is:
    1. pwd
    /usr/sys/inst.images
    1. ls -l .toc
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 1105019 Feb 01 12:46 .toc
