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.

iprupdate
IPRUPDATE(8) System Manager's Manual IPRUPDATE(8)
NAME
iprupdate - IBM Power RAID adapter/device microcode update utility
SYNOPSIS
iprupdate
iprupdate --debug --check_only --daemon --use-polling --use-uevents
DESCRIPTION
iprupdate is used to update the microcode on IBM storage adapters and the disk units attached to them to a minimum supported level. It can
be run at any time while the ipr device driver is loaded. The utility will check the microcode revision level of each storage adapter/disk
unit on the system and compare it to the microcode revision level that is installed in /etc/microcode, /usr/lib/microcode, and
/lib/firmware. If the microcode level on the adapter/device is below the minimum supported level and the level of the latest image is
newer, the microcode will be updated to the latest level available. It is desired that this be called in the boot process.
OPTIONS
--version
Print the version number of iprupdate
--debug
Enable additional error logging. Enabling this will result in additional errors logging to /var/log/messages.
--check_only
Check if any adapters or disk units are below their minimum supported level.
--daemon
Run as a daemon to handle adapters and devices being hotplugged.
--use-polling
Do not use netlink/uevent notification, but rather poll for adapter and device configuration changes.
--use-uevents
Use netlink/uevent notification rather than polling for adapter and device configuration changes. If not specified, polling will be
used until the first uevent notification appears, then netlink will be used.
