install_all_updates – Updates installed software to the latest level on media and verifies the current recommended maintenance or technology level.
Synopsis
install_all_updates examines currently installed software and attempts to update it to the latest level that is available on the media. install_all_updates will not install any filesets that are present on the media, but not installed on the system except if the new filesets are installed as requisites of other filesets or the /var/adm/ras/bosinst.data filesets ALL_DEVICES_KERNELS to yes.
Requirements
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
AIX >= 7.1 TL3
Python >= 3.6
Privileged user with authorization: aix.system.install
Parameters
- device (True, str, None)

- update_rpm (optional, bool, False)
Update rpm images (if possible).
- dependencies (optional, bool, True)
Automatically install requisites.
- skip_verify (optional, bool, False)
Skip recommended maintenance or technology level verification.
- extend_fs (optional, bool, True)
Attempts to resize any file systems where there is insufficient space to do the installation.
- checksum (optional, bool, False)
Verify that all installed files in the fileset have the correct checksum value after the installation.
This operation may require more time to complete the installation.
- suppress_multivolume (optional, bool, False)
Suppress multi-volume processing of cdrom media.
- agree_licenses (optional, bool, False)
