Question & Answer
Question
How do I download a specific oslevel ISO image on the IBM ESS website?
Answer
ESS (Entitled Systems Support) is the web portal for worldwide license management.
https://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/ess
AIX users can download software, and view software maintenance records on this site, through “My entitled software”.
If the particular release level is not available, you can select a lower base media version, then use Fix Central to obtain required updates.
Example:
In the following example the user requires AIX oslevel 7100-02-03-1334 which is not available as a downloadable image. |
| 1) Select the AIX Operating System and Version 7 Release 1 |
 |
| 2) Now you will select the AIX TL - in this case 5799-HKU |
The following offering information was found in the IBM Offering catalog
|
  |
| 3) Proceed to the package selection option, and click hide/show to expand the options |
 |
| Since there is no base image for 7100-02-03-1334, choose the closest level, which is 7100-02-00. DVD2 is not required for boot, so it is optional. |

| 4) Read and agree to the Terms and Conditions, follow any remaining instructions |
 |
 |
| 5) After installing the downloaded ISO image, you can download the required SP from Fix Central |
 |
 |
 |
| 6) Proceed to download with your preferred options |
