Hi,
You might want to start at
http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp.../aixfixes.html .
Maintenance Levels (MLs) were renamed to Technology Levels (TLs). Service
Packs (SPs) are fixes on a specific TL. You can download these from the
website, order them on CD or use the SUMA tool in AIX.
IBM has a best practices guide for software maintenance
http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp..._strategy.html .
