All this is really confusing. From oslevel command it looks like system doesn't know TL5SP9.
Instfix command shows many ML/SP. Should I fix all that in order to get my system to a consistent state?
Very appreciate!

Hi Alejandro..
Surely you already are in that target SP.
oslevel often drops a wrong level because filesets in bad state or lack of them.
You can get the latest TL/SP with instfix -i | grep ML
And you can get what fileset are missing or in bad level with instfix -icqk 7100-06_AIX_ML | grep ":-:" (for example)
Other options of oslevel are -sq and -sl. Try them.
A more deeper research could be done with lppchk -c
Regards
Luis Rojas.

Hi! I've downloaded AIX 71TL5SP6 fixpack to update one server.
Extracted the content in a directory /tmp/fixpack and run smit update_all with preview and I'm getting this message:
Command: failed stdout: yes stderr: no
Before command completion, additional instructions may appear below.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# No filesets on the media could be used to update the currently
# installed software.
#
# Either the software is already at the same level as on the media, or
# the media contains only filesets which are not currently installed.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
I just updated system from TL4 to TL5 using base dvd:
(root@test /)> oslevel -s
7100-05-00-0000
(root@test /)>
lppchk looks good.
(root@test /)> lppchk -v
(root@test /)>
I've already recreated .toc file, but still getting same error.
I have no clue on how to get over this error, so I will appreciate any help.
Have a nice day!
