How do I tell which AIX version am I running?

• Hi there,

  You are correct in the fact that oslevel will give you the current installed version, but that is not always enough information particularily if you are asked the question by support personnel.

  # oslevel <--- this will only give you the Base Level

  To be more precise you should use the following command which will give you additional Technology Level, Maintenance Level and Service Pack level information.

      # oslevel -s
  5300-09-02-0849
  

  This will give you

  • "5300" - Base Level
  • "09" - Technology Level
  • "02" - Maintenance Level
  • "0849" - Service Pack

  On some older versions of AIX the -s option is not available in whichh cas you should use the -r option which will report as far as the Technology level

  I hope this helps

  kubanczyk : This is actually wrong. In your example 5300-09-02-0849, 09 is Technology Level, 02 is Service Pack number and 0849 is just the date of Service Pack release (49th week of the year 2008). Maintenance Level is just an old name for Technology Level.

• You can use "uname" with various options:

  $ uname -v
  5
  $ uname -r
  3
