find oslevel of the clone rootvg

We usually know how to find the oslevel of a server, but if we want to find the oslevel of the cloned rootvg that exists in the disk, then its very simple.

Using the below blvset command, you can find the oslevel in the clone vg/disk.





/usr/lpp/bosinst/blvset -d /dev/hdisk0  -g level

      Where hdisk0 is part of the cloned rootvg as below.

# lspv | grep rootvg
 hdisk0          00z301dce111df74                    altinst_rootvg
 hdisk1          00c503d45e50dr04                    rootvg          active

• If we need few more details on the cloned disk, then below command will be useful. If we need TL level just need to check the date when clone performed and we know when the TL or SP upgrade happened on the server. so based on that we can decide the TL level.
