Why server B when I type command "# oslevel -r -g 5300-05" I can see <bos.mp64> and server B I can not see <bos.mp64>?
Please command me how to fix this issue, thanks alot for your reply.
Seng,

I'm a little confused by your question so hopefully I've gotten this right.

The oslevel command, with the -g option will tell you what filesets are later than the specified maintenance level.

The reason one machine doesn't list it, and the other does is that one has a higher level than the other.

They both have the right versions to "qualify" for 5300-05, but one of them has a slightly more recent version than the other.

This is what oslevel is all about: how am I tracking against a known list of filesets at specific versions? Do I have everything I need to qualify for 5300-05?

The command to determine what levels each fileset is at is "lslpp". If you run this on each machine it should show you the different levels each has.

lslpp -l bos.mp64

In summary:
oslevel - checklist me against a collection of filesets at specific versions
lslpp - show me the level of a specific or several filesets

Yes, your servers don't have identical LPPs at identical levels, but in each case the lowest common denominator is 5.3 ml 5. An example of how this works is that I was using all vio on one machine and so didn't have any real ethernet drivers, I briefly installed one that was at 5.3 ml 3 and all of a suddenly 'oslevel -r' told me it was at 5.3 ml 3 since it was the lowest common ML which could include the real ethernet driver which it now considered important.

Hi,
have you tried with oslevel -s
