INSTFIX CORRECTION:

1. instfix -i | grep ML
All filesets for 5.3.0.0_AIX_ML were found.
All filesets for 5300-01_AIX_ML were found.
All filesets for 5300-04_AIX_ML were found.
Not all filesets for 5300-05_AIX_ML were found.
...
2. instfix -vick 5300-05_AIX_ML | grep :-:
(instfix -icqk 5300-05_AIX_ML | grep ":-:" <--this
command was used in the NIM redbook)

5300-05_AIX_ML:X11.adt.motif:5.3.0.50:5.3.0.0:-:AIX 5300-05 Update <-- shows


what is missing

3.lslpp -L X11.adt.motif <-- shows if


it is installed and what is the current version
Fileset Level State Type Description (Uninstaller)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
X11.adt.motif 5.3.0.0 C F AIXwindows Application
Development Toolkit Motif

4. if we have found it in a dir: installp -l -d .


Fileset Name Level I/U Q Content
====================================================================
X11.adt.motif 5.3.0.50 S N usr <--shows if
reboot needed after install (N= not affected, no reboot)
(Y and B: it
affects the currently running programs)
(B and b:
causes bosboot to occur + reboot is needed)

5. smitty update_all (or smitty install)

6. now it is OK: instfix -i | grep ML


All filesets for 5.3.0.0_AIX_ML were found.
All filesets for 5300-01_AIX_ML were found.
All filesets for 5300-04_AIX_ML were found.
All filesets for 5300-05_AIX_ML were found.

FIXING FILESETS in ODM:

lppchk -v shows problems with a fileset and you don't want to remove it:

devices.common.IBM.iscsi.rte 5.2.0.0 (not installed; requisite fileset)

1. save ODM
tar -cvf /tmp/odm.etc.tar /etc/objrepos
tar -cvf /tmp/odm.usr.lib.tar /usr/lib/objrepos

2. check lpp_id
odmget -q name=devices.common.IBM.iscsi.rte lpp
output will show lpp_id:
...
lpp_id = 355

3. delete from ODM


odmdelete -q name=devices.common.IBM.iscsi.rte -o lpp
odmdelete -q lpp_name=devices.common.IBM.iscsi.rte -o product
odmdelete -q lpp_id="355" -o history
odmdelete -q lpp_id="355" -o inventory

4. reinstall base fileset with force flag (then update)


installp -aF -d /home/bb/bb1 all
