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

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.

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。
# Check if any EFIX installed, if so, remove it before update.
lslpp -e
emgr -r -L <EFIX-Label>

# 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

FAQ

EFIX MANAGER LOCKS

EFIX MANAGER LOCKS
------------------

  * * * ATTENTION * * *

  The following selected filesets are locked by EFIX manager:

  bos.rte.control

  installp has halted this operation because one or more files in the
  filesets listed above are registered as having an EFIX. You must remove
  these EFIXES before performing operations on the given fileset.

  To get a listing of all locked filesets and the locking EFIX label, 
  execute the following command:

  # /usr/sbin/emgr -P 

  To remove the given EFIX, execute the following command:

  # /usr/sbin/emgr -r -L <EFIX label> 

  For more information on EFIX management please see the emgr man page
  and documentation.

Solution:

# List the EFIX installed
emgr -l

# List the EFIX locked
emgr -P

# Remove the EFIX locked
emgr -r -L <EFIX lapel>
