Using the Comparison Reports menu

The Comparison Reports menu allows you to generate several comparison reports to verify that the filesets for a particular fix or preventive maintenance package are installed by comparing filesets installed on a system to another source. This source could be a fix repository, such as an lpp_source or a directory of fixes, or a downloaded list from the IBM® System p support Web site.

If you want to verify that your lpp_source is up to date, you can also compare a fix repository to a downloaded list.

You can perform these actions in the SMIT compare_report fast path or using the compare_report command.
