oslevel Returns Incorrect Output


Environment

OS Level: AIX Versions 4.1.4-4.1.5
Type/Model: 220

Problem

After an upgrade from AIX Version 4.1.4 to 4.1.5, oslevel returns 4.1.4.0.

Solution

  1. Run the command oslevel -q. Check whether 4.1.5.0 is in the list of known maintenance levels.
  2. If it is not, run the following command to determine the level of the fileset bos.rte:
              # lslpp -l bos.rte
    
  3. If the fileset is at the 4.1.5.0 level, execute lppchk -v to ensure that no necessary filesets are missing.
  4. If there are none, remove the file /tmp/.oslevel.mlinfo.cache.
  5. Now run oslevel again. It should return 4.1.5.0. In addition, oslevel -q should return the following:
              4.1.5.0
              4.1.4.0
              4.1.3.0
              4.1.2.0
