    Many times we are in the position to check or install the specific apar in aix.

    Below is the way to check whether the particular apar is already installed or not.

    Example: APAR IZ97457

    syntax: #instfix -ik <apar_name>

    #instfix -ik IZ97457

    All filesets for IZ97457 were found.

    The above output shows that the APAR IZ97457 is already installed on the server.

    Suppose if the apar is not installed on the server then we have to get the apar first and then installed it.

    To list of fixes/apar that are on a directory or CD, then we can use the following:

    # instfix -Td <directory>     (or)   # instfix -Td /dev/cd0

    once you find out then installed the fix with the below command

    # instfix -k <fix> -d <directory>

    # instfix -k IZ97457 -d /export/filesets      (or) use # smitty update_by_fix
