Running oslevel Returns Incorrect Level after Upgrade from AIX 4.3.0 to 4.3.1

Environment

Problem

After an upgrade to AIX Version 4.3.1 from 4.3.0, oslevel returns 4.3.0.0.

More specifically, running oslevel -l 4.3.1.0 returns the following:

	bos.msg.en_US.alt_disk_install.rte actual level 
        4.3.0.0 maintenance level 4.3.1.0

This is a defect.

Solution

The workaround is as follows.

	**************************************************************
	****NOTE only backend please or authorization from backend****
	**************************************************************

Execute the following commands:

 export ODMDIR=/usr/lib/objrepos
 odmget -q name="4.3.1.0_AIX_ML" fix > file1

Modify file1. Change the bos.msg.en_US.alt_disk_install.rte:4.3.1.0 to bos.msg.en_US.alt_disk_install.rte:4.3.0.0 in the 4.3.1.0_AIX_ML fix stanza.

Then execute:

 odmdelete -q name="4.3.1.0_AIX_ML" -o fix
 odmadd file1
 export ODMDIR=/etc/objrepos 
 cd /tmp
 rm .oslevel.mlinfo.cache

Now oslevel should return 4.3.1.0.
