The operating system

The operating system must be AIX Version 6.1, Technology Level 03, Service Pack 01, or higher.

The output from the command oslevel -s should look like 6100-03-01-nnnn, where nnnn is a four-digit date code.

To check whether you have the required level installed, you can list the latest level of all filesets by typing the following command and pressing Enter: 
 lslpp -L "bos.*" | more
At least the bos.rte fileset must be at the required level.

If you do not have the required level of AIX installed, you must upgrade the operating system before installing Blueworx Voice Response or any other LPPs you require. However, if you are migrating in-place from a previous release of Blueworx Voice Response or DirectTalk, do not install the new level of AIX until you have first saved your data (see Software installation for instructions on how to do this).

When installing or upgrading AIX you do not need to select all the filesets. Table 1 shows the filesets you need to install in addition to the minimum AIX operating system. All other AIX filesets required by Blueworx Voice Response are provided on the Blueworx Voice Response installation CD-ROM and will be installed automatically during the Blueworx Voice Response installation process.
