I would say go ahead and open a call with IBM.

If you find the solution, we will appreciate if you can share it with the forum.

It seems I'm gonna go for a fresh installation as I have no support.

Do you have a licence to run AIX 7.1 on your server? There should be something with that agreement. If not, then IBM will want a fee.

This system is crashing (code 700=Program Interrupt). The system is also having a problem with the dump (dump status code is 0c5=internal dump error).

The server is P7 series server.
Yes the server comes with a preinstalled AIX 7.1

Yes indeed the system is crashing.
I think the only way to get dump is via ASMI.
I'll be thankful if anybody have any idea that might fix the problem.

If your server was pre-installed, then I would revert to the mksysb that you took in advance of the upgrade. This will preserve volume groups you have made/used if you overwrite the original boot disk.

Discuss the issue with the supplier and/or IBM if you still are under warranty.

It is possible that there is a firmware requirement for the upgrade, although I think that unlikely. Normally IBM are good with upgrades.

Alas no mksysb were taken prior to the upgrade.
I'm no longer under the support/warranty umbrella.
I have done firmware upgrades prior to the upgrade, I don't think the issue lies with firmware.
