Document Release 15.1 (30/06/2015)
Preliminary Remarks
We are working with Apple to complete a 64-bit version of MixMeister, and hope have an update to share soon. In the meantime, please note that Mixmeister will not work on macOS Catalina. If you wish to continue using this software/app, please continue to do so on macOS Mojave. MixMeister September 10, 2019 IMPORTANT - macOS Catalina is likely to be released in the near future. Due to significant changes to this new OS V7.7 will not be supported.
Openssh stuff, AIX 5.2 only. An appropriate version of openssl has to be installed first, taken from elsewhere, e.g. From an AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications CD. As of the time of this writing, the IBM site doesn't seem to carry these filesets anymore. Sysmgt security, tts. Note: For AIX =5.3, the netsec fileset holds the tcpwrappers package. The supported versions that are in regular support are AIX 7.2 and AIX 7.1. There is one version that is under extended support which is AIX 6.1. Any users that would like to remain on AIX 6.1 would have to purchase a service extension in order to receive support from IBM for this version of AIX. AIX 5.3 reached its end of life earlier this year.

Ce document décrit la procédure à suivre pour mettre à jour un système en AIX 6.1 au dernier indice technique. Le dernier indice livré par BULL est 6.1.9.200 (il correspond au niveau du fileset bos.mp64). Autrement dit Technology Level 9, Service Pack 8 (6100-09-08-1642). Attention : updater un système vers un niveau de modification inférieur n'est pas supporté, ce qui reste possible même si le Technology Level est supérieur. Donc, avant d'updater le système, il faut vérifier le SP rendu par la commande oslevel -s (6100-<TL>-<SP>-<DATE>). Si <DATE> est inférieure ou égale à 1642, updater vers TL9 SP8 fera effectivement évoluer vers un niveau de modification supérieur. Dans les autres cas, il faudra installer le dernier SP de la TL9 pour se trouver à un niveau de modification équivalent. Pour connaitre les derniers Service Packs disponibles, voir: AIX support site | This document describes the procedure to follow when updating an already existing AIX 6.1 system. The Latest Technical Level delivered by BULL is 6.1.9.200 (according to the bos.mp64 fileset Level number). So, Technology Level 9, Service Pack 8 (6100-09-08-1642). Warning : updating a system to a lower modification level is not supported (which is possible even when updating to a higher Technology Level) So, before updating the system, please check the Technology and Service Packs levels returned by the oslevel -s command (6100-<TL>-<SP>-<DATE>). If <DATE> is less than or equal to 1642, updating to the TL9 SP8 level will lead to update the system to a higher modification level. In other cases, the latest SP for TL9 is needed to be installed. To know the last available Service Packs, please go to : AIX support site |
Important : prendre en compte les différentes remarques ( Technical Bulletin ) sur les installations en AIX 6.1 avant de commencer la mise à jour : AIX 6.1 Installations Tips | Important : have a look to remarks ( Technical Bulletin ) about AIX 6.1 installations before starting the update : AIX 6.1 Installations Tips |
Select AIX; Select your AIX version - 4.3.3, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 6.1, 7.1; Select Fix Packs; Then click on Continue; Wait a few second; Then you get a calendar which explains the current versions and when they came out. Then proceed to download a either a Technology Level, a Service Pack or in one go the Technology Level and Service Pack.
Procedure Contents
U7.1 - Media and SRB
- DVD: AIX Version 6.1 TL9 SP7 (76743807-101) if you are updating from a TL less than 6.1TL09 ( There is no preload for the version 6.1TL09SP8 )
- or DVD: AIX Version 6.1 TL9 SP8 Update (76743837-101) if you are updating from TL/SP 6.1TL09 between SP01 and SP07.
- SRB (Software Release Bulletin) is not provided for this SP.
WARNING : if some Expansion Pack packages are installed (see the Readme ) and especially Java6_64.sdk, they will not be updated using the AIX update DVD.
VERY IMPORTANT : please check on the Expansion PackRelease Notes.
In case of trouble, please call your support representative.
U7.2 - Cluster Node Update
If the server to be updated is a cluster node, please refer to the HACMP Upgrade procedures at the High Availability Products for AIX WEB site (Bull internal access only), to see if you need to install HA PTFs.
You have to stop HACMP with takeover option on that node, using the smit clstop
command, before AIX update.
U7.3 - Precautions
- In any case, perform a bootable backup of your configuration (rootvg) and save other Volume Groups.
- To check if some efixes were installed on this system, run :
emgr -l
If you get some, you have to check that the APARs corrected by the efixes are corrected too by the new AIX Release you are going to install, otherwise new efixes will be needed after AIX update. Please call the Support representative for help.
- It is strongly recommended to run the system in single user mode:
- Replace the following
/etc/inittab
line:init:2:initdefault:
with
init:s:initdefault: - If your system resides on a Fiber Disk, do not reboot now, otherwise reboot the system, using:
shutdown -Fr
- Replace the following
U7.4 - Fibre Channel Disk Subsystems Preparation
- If your system does not include Fibre Channel Disk Sub-systems, just ignore this section.
- If your system includes Fibre Channel NDAS CX200/300/400/500/600/700 and (or) EMC Symmetrix Sub-systems, check the flare and base software release at the EMC CLARiiON Storage Subsystems WEB site (for Bull employees only). You can, at this point:
- update the DAS flares
- update Navisphere 6 to the latest level
- update Powerpath to the latest level ( It is strongly recommended to update Powerpath to the last technical level , otherwise you could have dead path )
- If your system resides on a fibre disk (rootvg on an hdiskpower device)
if you need to update Powerpath, perform the following :
WARNING : a serious defect is reported by EMC about PowerPath 5.5 or 5.5 P01 witch can in various deployments or migration plans change the planning or the use of this product. It is strongly recommended to use the P06 release for PowerPath 5.5 version or to update to Powerpath 5.7 version (end of support december 2016) or PowerPath 6.0.
- run :
pprootdev off
thenshutdown -Fr
- stop all the applications, umount the filesystems and varyoff the VGs which reside on hdiskpower devices
- stop navisphere :
rc.agent stop
- check on which hdiskpower device is rootvg :
lspv grep rootvg
- let's suppose that rootvg is on hdiskpower<x>, then verify that rootvg hdisk is on the default SP :
powermt display dev=hdiskpower<x>
you must get the following :
- run :
rmdev -dl hdiskpower<x>
- run :
bootlist -m normal -o
and check that the first hdisk in the list is affected to the current SP - install the last Powerpath release using :
smit install_latest
- restart navisphere :
rc.agent start
- configure Powerpath :
powermt config
- run :
pprootdev on
thenshutdown -Fr
- after rebooting run :
pprootdev fix
- Owner : default=SP <y> , current = SP <y>
if you don't need to update Powerpath, run :
pprootdev fix
U7.5 - Disk Subsystems
If your system does not include disk subsystems, just ignore this section.
If your system includes disk subsystems, all activity must be stopped: this is OK, since you are running in single user mode.
U7.6 - Install AIX updates
- To be able to install the Updates Media, perform the following commands:
export TERM=vt320
mount /opt
srcmstr &
/etc/methods/cfg64 &
/usr/sbin/cron &
- Insert the 'AIX 6.1 TL9 SP6 Updates' Media then run:
smit update_all
In the SMIT menu, select the options as below and run the update:
- With certain combinations of updates, the update process may have to be run a second time in order to apply all updates in a package. Checking the output of the 'oslevel -r' and 'oslevel -s' commands for the expected values after an update is recommended. Until the update is run a second time, the output of the oslevel command may indicate that the package is not fully installed. So, if needed run a second :
smit update_all
- Warning : when updating from 6100-05 or lower, fileset devices.chrp.base.ServiceRM fails to install and oslevel does not return the 6100-09 value (see APAR IV53977). To correct this issue, you need to install first the devices.chrp.base.ServiceRM 1.5.2.0 level,then update the filesetusing theAIX 6.1 TL9 UpdatesDVD.
- Note: You can check too if a more recent Service Pack is delivered at : https://support.bull.com/ols/product/system/aix/fix/cs/packs/ml/
then install it run:smit update_all
In the SMIT menu, select the options as below and run the update: - check the result of :
- If you get the following message at the end of the update process:
- If your machine model is one of the following Escala models: PL240 / PL420 / PL820 / PL1600 / PL3200, then the firmware of the machine must be set at the latest level to be able to boot. Check the firmware at: and do not worry if you still get the same warning message, running the bosboot command after rebooting your system.
- no problem to boot on Power5, Power5+, Power6, Power7 and Power8 platforms
oslevel -s
If the oslevel doesn't match with 6100-09-08-1642, it's mainly due to the fileset : adde.v2.common.rte .
Rerun smit update_all. It will be correctly installed.
your system may not boot, depending on your machine model:

U7.8 - Reboot the system
- If you use NIS, it is strongly recommended to remove the
bos.net.nisplus
fileset. - Before rebooting, restore the multi-user mode by replacing in
/etc/inittab
the line:init:s:initdefault:
withinit:2:initdefault
- Reboot now the system, by running:
shutdown -Fr
- It is recommended to perform a backup of the system (using the
smit mksysb
command).
U7.9 - Tasks to perform after the update
- If this update is performed within a HACMP cluster, restart HA using the

INCLUDED FX BREAKDOWN:
Twenty Classic FX from Pro Tools (AU64, VST32, and VST64):
AIR Chorus:
Lets you apply a short modulated delay to give depth and space to an audio signal.
AIR Ensemble:
Lets you apply fluid, shimmering modulation effects to the audio signal.
AIR Flanger:
Lets you apply a short modulating delay to the audio signal.
AIR Multi-Chorus:
Plug-in that lets you apply a thick, complex Chorus effect to an audio signal.
AIR Phaser:
Applies a phaser to an audio signal for that wonderful'wooshy,' 'squishy' sound.
AIR Reverb:
Use the Reverb effect to apply Reverb to the audio signal, creating a sense of room or space. Typically, you'll want to use Reverb on one of the Effect Send inserts or Main Effects inserts.
AIR Non-LinearReverb:
Use the Non-Linear Reverb plug-in to apply special gated or reversed Reverb effects to the audio signal, creating a synthetic, processed ambience.
AIR SpringReverb:
Use the Spring Reverb plug-in for that classic spring reverb sound. Just don't kick your computer trying to get the springs to rattle! The Spring Reverb plug-in models an analog spring reverb. An analog spring reverb is an electromechanical device much like a plate reverb.
AIR Multi-Delay:
Use the Multi-Delay plug-in to apply up to five delay lines to the audio signal.
AIR DynamicDelay:
Use the Dynamic Delay Plug-In for a delay line that can synchronize to the DAW session tempo and be modulated by an Envelope follower.
AIR FrequencyShifter:
Use the Frequency Shifter plug-in to shift the audio signal's individual frequencies, creating a unique effect.
AIR StereoWidth:
Plug-in that you can use to create a wider stereo presence.
AIR Distortion:
Instantly adds color to your audio signal with various types and varying amounts of distortion.
AIR Fuzz-Wah:
Lets you add color to an audio signal with various types and varying amounts of transistor-like distortion.
AIR Lo-Fi:
Plug-in that you can use to bit-crush, down-sample, clip, rectify, and mangle an input signal.
AIR Enhancer:
Enhances the low and high broadband frequencies of an audio signal.
AIR KillEQ:
Use the Kill EQ plug-in to zap out the Low, Mid or High broadband frequency range from an audio signal. This is a popular effect with DJs and is commonly used in electronic music production (especially in dance music).
AIR VintageFilter:
Plug-in that applies a modulating, resonant filter to an audio signal. Have fun with filter sweeps or give your sounds that extra-resonant aura.
AIR FilterGate:
Highly acclaimed plug-in that you can use to chop up an audio signal into staccato rhythmic patterns with variable filtering, amplitude, and panning.
AIR Talkbox:
Plug-in that lets you add voice-like resonances to audio signals.
Eight all new plugins (AAX64, AU64, VST32, and VST64):
AIR Pumper:
Pumper creates a rhythmic pumping effect, similar to that of sidechain compression, with an assignable speed, depth and envelope shape.
AIR Spectral:
Spectral analyzes an incoming signal (its frequencies, level, MIDI notes, and other information) and determines which frequencies will and will not be part of the resynthesized output signal. Set the incoming signal with the Filter By controls, and then play with the “dissolve,” envelope, and stereo phase controls to experiment with the sound. The results may surprise you!
AIR DiffusorDelay:
Delay line effect that is synchronized to your session tempo and uses an adjustable amount of diffusion, thus emulating the dissipation of echoes in reverberant space.
AIRTubeDrive:
Tube Drive emulates the sound of the signal being played through a mildly “overdriven” tube amp, creating a warm, smooth-sounding distortion.
How To Stop Catalina Update
AIRCompressor:
Compressor changes the dynamic range of a signal by automatically reducing its gain if it exceeds a certain level (the threshold).
Why Is Catalina Not Showing In Updates
AIRMaximizer:
Maximizer is a limiter optimized for professional mastering.
AIRParametricEQ:
Four-band parametric equalizer with four independent EQ ranges.
AIRSaturationFilter:
Saturation Filter applies a filter to an incoming audio signal and then applies a selectable type of distortion,reduction, etc to that filtered signal.
