APAR status

  • Closed as documentation error.

Error description

  • After updating to VIOS 4.1.2.x, running the root oslevel
command will not behave as expected.

The reason being some filesets are left at older level.
X11.apps.clients 7.3.3.0 AIXwindows Client Applications
X11.apps.config  7.3.3.0 AIXwindows Configuration
Applications
X11.apps.custom  7.3.3.0 AIXwindows Customizing Tool
X11.apps.xdm     7.3.3.0 AIXwindows xdm Application

These filesets being at older level have no functional
impact other than causing oslevel to report incorrectly.

Local fix

  • We could uninstall the filesets with no impact
$ oem_setup_env
# installp -u X11.apps.clients X11.apps.config
X11.apps.custom X11.apps.xdm

or

Update to the expected level from a AIX Base DVD of that
level

Problem summary

  • Some filesets were left at older levels in VIOS 4.1.2.

Problem conclusion

  • Updated these filesets to latest levels.

Temporary fix
