After os level update it might happen that not all filesets are installed correctly what results in a lower oslevel than we attempted to update to. For example if we update from TL5 to TL7 on AIX 6.1. The oslevel command may return that we are on TL 6 instead of TL 7.
# oslevel -s 6100-06-06-1140
Instfix may help us to nail down the missing filesets
# instfix -i | grep ML

Do display the missing filesets that are holding us back from TL7 use:
# instfix -icqk 6100-07_AIX_ML | grep :-: 6100-07_AIX_ML:openssh.base.client:5.8.0.6101:5.4.0.6100:-:AIX 6100-07 Update 6100-07_AIX_ML:openssh.base.server:5.8.0.6101:5.4.0.6100:-:AIX 6100-07 Update 6100-07_AIX_ML:openssh.man.en_US:5.8.0.6101:5.4.0.6100:-:AIX 6100-07 Update 6100-07_AIX_ML:openssl.base:0.9.8.1800:0.9.8.1300:-:AIX 6100-07 Update 6100-07_AIX_ML:openssl.license:0.9.8.1800:0.9.8.1300:-:AIX 6100-07 Update 6100-07_AIX_ML:openssl.man.en_US:0.9.8.1800:0.9.8.1300:-:AIX 6100-07 Updat
