AIX TL and hardware (Documentum 5.3 friendly)

IBM Technology levels are obtained by using

oslevel

with no params tells you the version of AIX.  (For Documentum it should be at least 5.2 currently).

oslevel -q -s

Will give a lengthy list of service packs and the technology level.

Example:

$ oslevel -q -s
