How to check the particular apar is installed in aix?
Many times we are in the position to check or install the specific apar
in aix.
Below is the way to check whether the particular apar is already
installed or not.
Example: APAR IZ97457
syntax: #instfix -ik <apar_name>
#instfix -ik IZ97457
All filesets for IZ97457 were found.
The above output shows that the APAR IZ97457
is already installed on the server.
Suppose if the apar is not installed on the server
then we have to get the apar first and then installed it.
To list of fixes/apar that are on a directory
or CD, then we can use the following:
# instfix -Td <directory> (or)
# instfix -Td /dev/cd0
once you find out then installed the fix with the
below command
# instfix -k <fix> -d <directory>
# instfix -k IZ97457 -d /export/filesets
(or) use # smitty update_by_fix
