Post Pre-checks

AIX Guys!!!

What pre-checks would you do on a 5.3 server before TL/SP/APAR installation?

Check the applications support the new TL/SP - you should not be installing APARs these days.
Check the system firmware supports the new TL - good time to update it anyway, don't forget the adapter and device microcode.
Check the system is currently in good shape:
lppchk -c
lppchk -l
lppchk -vm3
Check the errpt and fix any errors before you continue.
Check fix central for the build dates so you know you: will not introduce regression / don't hit a build date problem.
