Operating Systems AIX HELP for AIX 4.3 upgrade to 5.3 Post 302069946 by ScatterBrain on Thursday 30th of March 2006 10:34:59 AM

i think everyone's situation is differernt... but if you were to ask me... then...

1. i don't think an upgrade will necessarily be THAT costly considering it's a mission critical system. you should, however, consider a couple of things: AIX support and your application support. has the application ever been certified on AIX versions later than 4.3? how do you get support for AIX 4.3? are you at the mercy of that outside consultant?

2. i do not believe 5.3 will run on a 43p. i THINK the highest you can go is 5.1.

3. the only upgrade issue you may need to consider is whether or not you have the hardware and software that supports that upgraded AIX version.

if that SAP system comes in somewhat soon, you may want to consider just keeping the 43P running as is and buy a bunch of spare 43Ps (since they're DIRT CHEAP on the used market) for spare parts if anything breaks. *shrugs* just a thought.
