If they send you ML4 or less don't load it. send it back and complain it is too old and therefore unstable to bother with.
Still sheck and update your device (disk, adapter, tape, etc.) microcode before your AIX upgrade. It will make the system much more stable and will save you time in the long run.
A handy tool is the microcode discovery CD, see option 4 in the above link.

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.

sbuild-update
SBUILD-UPDATE(1) Debian sbuild SBUILD-UPDATE(1)
NAME
sbuild-update - update, upgrade, and clean an sbuild chroot with apt-get
SYNOPSIS
sbuild-update [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [--arch=architecture] [-u|--update] [-g|--upgrade] [-d|--dist-upgrade] [-c|--clean] [-a|--auto-
clean] [-r|--autoremove] CHROOT1 [CHROOT2 [CHROOTn...]]
sbuild-update -k|--keygen
(DEPRECATED) sbuild-upgrade [-h|--help] [-V|--version] CHROOT1 [CHROOT2 [CHROOTn...]]
(DEPRECATED) sbuild-distupgrade [-h|--help] [-V|--version] CHROOT1 [CHROOT2 [CHROOTn...]]
(DEPRECATED) sbuild-clean [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [-c|--clean] [-a|--autoclean] [-r|--autoremove] CHROOT1 [CHROOT2 [CHROOTn...]]
DESCRIPTION
sbuild-update runs apt-get inside the specified chroot performing update, upgrade, dist-upgrade, clean, autoclean, and/or autoremove
depending on the options specified on the command line.
sbuild-upgrade, sbuild-distupgrade, and sbuild-clean, are deprecated. They now simply run sbuild-update with the appropriate options
(--upgrade or --dist-upgrade for sbuild-upgrade or sbuild-distupgrade respectively) along with whatever arguments were passed in the
scripts.
OPTIONS
Actions
-h, --help
Display this manual.
-V, --version
Print version information.
--arch=architecture
Update chroot for the architecture specified.
-u, --update
Perform an apt-get update.
-g, --upgrade
Perform an apt-get upgrade.
-d, --dist-upgrade
Perform an apt-get dist-upgrade.
-c, --clean
Perform an apt-get clean.
-a, --autoclean
Perform an apt-get autoclean.
-r, --autoremove
Perform an apt-get autoremove.
-k, --keygen
Generate a GPG public/private key pair for self-signing local apt archives, used for installation of dependency packages. Note that
this requires a significant amount of entropy (randomness) and may hang on systems with poor entropy sources, such as headless sys-
tems without direct user input. In this situation, it is advisable to create the key on a trusted local system, and copy the files
to the build system by hand from /var/lib/sbuild/apt-keys/.
Chroot selection
CHROOT The chroot to use. Note that 'o', 's', 't', 'u' and 'e' may be used as abbreviations for 'oldstable', 'stable', 'testing', 'unsta-
ble' and 'experimental', respectively.
EXAMPLES
To update the unstable chroot:
% sbuild-update --update unstable
To upgrade the unstable chroot:
% sbuild-update --upgrade unstable
To clean the unstable chroot:
% sbuild-update --clean unstable
To perform an update, dist-upgrade, clean, autoclean, and autoremove for the unstable chroot:
% sbuild-update -udcar unstable
