apply efix or ifix in AIX

To apply efix or ifix on AIX you use EFIX Manager instead of installp. IBM provide fixes on formate ( fixname.epkg.Z)

and to apply the fix, see the following commands :

– apply the fix

# emgr -e <EFIX>.epkg.Z

– list all installed fixes

# emgr -l

– to remove a fix

# emgr -r -l <label name>

HINT: you can get the Label Name from list command (emgr -l)
