Reinstalling AIX 4.3 on IBM RS6000
Hey guys,
I'm a newbie in Unix world..
Currently in my office lies an old IBM RS6000 which hasn't been maintained for a very long time. The former admin has resigned and we don't have any documentation or whatsoever regarding the old machine. All I know that it is an RS6000 is because of what's written on the box.
Also I've checked that the OS is AIX 4.3.
My boss told me to do a fresh install on the machine.
I have no idea what to do or even where to start.
Can anybody share a step by step guide on how to do the installation?
Are there any checklists need to be done before, during, and after installation?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Regards,
Michael
