Re: Deinstall of a maintenance level?

Hi all,

I have an AIX 5.2 ML 04 and have to "downgrade" it to ML 01 for testing
reasons. Is there a way to deinstall the current ML and come down to 01
or maybe deinstall the ML at all and install ML 01 afterwards? Or would
it be just easier to install the machine just new with the lower ML?
(The machine isn't in a production enviroment, only testings.)

I've searched already if installp has an option but I found only how to
deinstall filesets. So have I to search for every fileset of the 04
level and have to remove it? But then I would loose the basic fileset
too, won't I?


Its maybe possible with a force-reinstall from the baselevel filesets on installation media. I don't know, how clean this machine will be.

What about reinstalling from mksysb? Fast, clean and supported.
