Pre-Checks

1.System Backup

備份 VG: rootvg 至其他未使用的 PV，PV 空間需相等或足夠 rootvg 的使用。

# 複製 VG: rootvg 至 hdisk1, 請確認 hdisk1 無重要資料
alt_disk_copy -B -d hdisk1

NOTE: 如果 VG: rootvg 有兩個 PV 做 Mirror，須改用以下指令：

# 複製 rootvg 至 hdisk6
mkszfile
sed 's/COPIES= [2-3]/COPIES= 1/g' /image.data > /image.data.one_copy
nohup alt_disk_copy -B -i /image.data.one_copy -d hdisk6 > clonelog.log &

Optional: 如果目的 PV 曾經做過備份，執行以下指令先做 VG 卸載

exportvg hdisk6

2.Boot Image Verification

檢查目前開機磁碟位置: hd5 是預設開機磁區

root@aixvm:> lslv -m hd5

hd5:N/A
LP    PP1  PV1               PP2  PV2               PP3  PV3
0001  0001 hdisk0

3.Firmware

It is recommended to check and update the firmware level when a technology level update is being considered. In general, it's best to apply firmware updates before software updates, but that is not always the case.

4.Fileset Consistency

Ideally, it returns to the command line with no output. If you receive output and are unfamiliar with how to resolve it, call the support center for assistance before running your update.

lppchk -v

Install the updates

更新檔: H11072988.iso

mkdir /mnt/iso
loopmount -i H11072988.iso -o "-V cdrfs -o ro" -m /mnt/iso

1.先更新Installp

如果目前版本與要更新的版本，中間跨了許多版本，建議先更新安裝程式 installp，可以避免更新失敗。

# Using smitty
smitty install_latest

# Using CLI
installp -acd /mnt/iso bos.rte.install

# Check the version
lslpp -L | grep bos.rte.install

INPUT device / directory for software : [/mnt/iso]
SOFTWARE to update : bos.rte.install
PREVIEW only? (install operation will NOT occur) : no

2.PREVIEW: yes

smitty update_all

INPUT device / directory for software : [/mnt/iso]
SOFTWARE to update : _update_all
PREVIEW only? (install operation will NOT occur) : yes
COMMIT software updates? : no
SAVE replaced files? : yes
...
ACCEPT new license agreements? : yes

3.PREVIEW: no

PREVIEW only? (install operation will NOT occur) : no

Post checks

Check the Technology Level (TL) and Service Pack (SP)

# Check TL
oslevel -r

# Check SP
oslevel -s

Check Fileset Consistency

# Ideally, it returns to the command line with no output.
lppchk -v
