Upgrading from 5.1.0.0 to 5.2.0.0
As a fairly new Administrator to AIX i am a little leary of the OS upgrade I need to do on one of our servers. I have already upgraded the microcode to the lastest level and now need to do the OS. I have the docs and discs from IBM and have determined that I dont want to do a new installation but instead need to do a Migration installation (it is a production box). I know to do a fresh makesysb or 2, and a full backup of the system. but was wondering what pitfalls I should be aware of? What do you use for backup? We current list all files and pipe that list to a backup command. Should we use the smitty backupvg instead? I have searched here for info and have read all pertinant threads, but none addressed 5.1 to 5.2 specifically so I thought I would check. Any hints or other info you can provide would be greatfully accepted.

Hey guys,
since AIX 5.3 reaches EOS on april 2012, I really need to update my systems asap.
Any experience on upgrading directly to 7.1, with sap/db2/oracle?
could do fresh installs and import my sap/db vgs, but this would be a lot of work

I have a power5 that I would like to update and bring everything forward.
I am wondering about trouble-free upgrades. Is it better to go 5.3 -> 7 or 5.3 ->6 ->7?
The power5 box is behind and hopefully can learn from experiences here.
Thanks. (6 Replies)
