Much of the output from the
lslpp
command is understandable without an
explanation. Other fields contain data that needs to be defined. The following
table defines terms used in several of the output fields of the
lslpp
command:
Output field Term Definition
State
of the fileset
APPLIED
The specified fileset is installed on the
system. The APPLIED state means that the
fileset can be rejected with the
installp
command, and the previous level of the
fileset can be restored. This state is only
valid for 4.1 fileset updates and 3.2
migrated filesets.
APPLYING
An attempt was made to apply the
specified fileset, but it did not complete
successfully, and cleanup was not
performed.
BROKEN The specified fileset or fileset update is
broken and should be reinstalled before
being used.
COMMITTED
The specified fileset is installed on the
system. The COMMITTED state means
that a commitment has been made to this
level of the software. A committed fileset
update cannot be rejected, but a
committed fileset base level and its
updates (regardless of state) can be
removed or deinstalled by the
installp
command.
OBSOLETE
The specified fileset was installed with an
earlier version of AIX (for example, 3.2),
but it has been replaced by a repackaged
(renamed) newer version. Some of the
files that belonged to this fileset have been
replaced by versions from the repackaged
fileset.
