IBM recommends creating a separate file system for/usr/sys/inst.images for the following reasons:
o
Downloaded fix packages require a
significant amount of disk space.
o
By creating a separate file system, you
prevent the expansion of the/usr file
system.

Follow
these steps to install the update package:
1.
Always run the inutoc command to ensure the installation
subsystem will recognize the new fix packages you download. This command
creates a new .toc file for the fix
package. Run the inutoc command
in the same directory where you downloaded the package filesets. For example,
if you downloaded the filesets to /usr/sys/inst.images,
run the following command:
inutoc /usr/sys/inst.images
(Optional):
Renaming the *.bff files is not necessary, but does help you see which
filesets are affected by the downloaded files. To rename the downloaded files
to their fileset name, run the bffcreate command.
After renaming the files, run the inutoc command
again. For example, if you downloaded the filesets to /usr/sys/inst.images,
run the following command to rename them:
bffcreate -c -d /usr/sys/inst.images
2. For all updates
To install
all updates from this package that apply to the installed filesets on your
system, use the following command:
smit update_all
It is
highly recommended that you apply all updates from this package.
3.
Reboot the system. A reboot
is required for this update to take effect.

You can
create a list of the APARs closed in this package, which you can then view
(and search) in an ASCII editor, such as vi or emacs. First, create the .toc file for the package by using the inutoc command described above. Then, run the
following command to extract the APAR listings from the .tocfile:
grep ^I .toc
> apar.list
Run the
following command to eliminate duplicate entries from the apar.listfile:
sort
-u apar.list -o sorted.apars
