• How will you install optional software on a AIX
machine?
• Firstly, what is optional software?
• Optional software are those which are not pre-installed
when you install an AIX machine.
• Secondly, how will you identify the software product?
• The OS software could be identified with the
following format as:-

5. www.kerneltraining.com/aix
• versionnumber.releasenumber.modificationlevel.fixle
vel
• Version number- it may be 1 to 2 digits.
• Release number- It may be 1 to 2 digits.
• Modification level- It can be from 1 to 4 digits.
• Fix level- It can be from 1 to 4 digits.
• How to remember this? Vrmf
• E.g.:- 05.02.0000.0000
• Eg2:- 5.3.0083.2233
• This is useful when we need to find the level of the
AIX OS using the #oslevel command

6. www.kerneltraining.com/aix
 Now let us see some of the key words required to
go further:-
1. Fileset- It is the smallest installable unit for the
AIX OS, example of a completely installable unit
is bos.net.uucp & example of
a separately installable part of a product
like bos.net.nfs.client
2. Packages- It is a group of separately installable
filesets, which provides a set of related functions.
Eg:- bos.net
3. Licensed Program Products (LPP) - They are a
complete software product including all packages
associated with that licensed program. Eg: - BOS

7. www.kerneltraining.com/aix
4. Bundles - They are a list of sofwares which contains filesets,
packages, LPPs, which are used for a specified use. Bundles
are the actual software.
Example:- Server bundle, network bundle, graphics bundle
5. PTFs- It stands for Program Temporary Fix. It is a temporary
solution to the problem. The problem is a result of a defect
in a current unaltered release of the program. This problem
is diagnosed by IBM.
6. APAR - It stands for Authorized Program Analysis Report.
This is just a report of the problem caused due to the defect
in a current unaltered release of the program. It is an
emergency fix.

• Now let's see how the software hierarchy in AIX looks like:

9. www.kerneltraining.com/aix
Technology Levels and Service Packs
• ML (Maintenance Level): It is no more called ML
but TL now (Technology level)
• Periodic patches and enhancements will be
released by IBM for each and every fileset which
is part of the OS or subsystem.
• Once higher version for all/most of the filesets in
an OS level is released they are packaged into a
single set called TL. (Eg: for os and TL level 5200-
04 will be given an TL level set for 5200-05 after
releasing all higher version filesets). A new AIX
Technology Level is released roughly every six
months or lesser than that.
• To see the TL level
- #oslevel –r

10. www.kerneltraining.com/aix
• Service Packs
An AIX Service Pack (SP) is a bundle
of PTFs released between
Technology Levels. The PTFs/fixes
address highly pervasive, critical, or
security-related issues. To see the
service pack level run
• #oslevel –s
• 6100-02-01-0847 (Means AIX 6.1 TL
02 Service pack 01)

11. www.kerneltraining.com/aix
Installation Methods
• There are three installation modes
in AIX
- Preview Mode
- Apply Mode (Save/replace)
- Commit Mode
