Determining AIX Maintenance Level

Technote (FAQ)
Problem
How do I find the maintenance level of my AIX® operating system?
Solution
You can determine the AIX level by issuing the instfix -i AIX command to query the system for a list of fixes installed on the system. To reduce the amount of output you see, pipe the output to grep to display only the results that include the string, AIX_ML. This displays a list of AIX maintenance levels that have been applied to your system.

Aix command:

instfix -i | grep AIX_ML

Example output:


# instfix -i | grep AIX_ML
