It should not be a problem as we are just changing hardware but would be good to know if someone has gone through this. thanks..
I haven't migrated DB2 old versions but i've migrated some Progress8 versions that were also not officially supported and that works.
AIX is most likely to be backwards compatible at least with AIX5L binaries.
It's not advisable but if it's the only way to go then you have to make some choices :-)
If the supporti s already end of life for DB2 V8 (i don't know) then it doesn't matter running it on 5.3 or 6.1 .... (as far as DB2 support).

ipx_cmd
IPX_CMD(8) System Manager's Manual IPX_CMD(8)
NAME
ipx_cmd - bridge between Novell's SCMD driver and local IPX network
SYNOPSIS
ipx_cmd -A server name [ -l local interface name ]
DESCRIPTION
ipx_cmd moves packets from tapN to server and vice versa. It is something like IPX Tunnel, but it uses Novell Netware 5 server Compatibil-
ity Mode Driver (AKA Migration Agent) on the other end of wire. You must first configure your kernel tapN device with IPX EthernetII frame
and with network number set up on server (you can use kernel autodetection).
OPTIONS
-A server name
This is IP name of compatibility mode server. You can use DNS name or dotted quad to specify server address.
-l local interface name
This allows you to specify, which of your IP addresses should be used as IP address of client side of CMD driver. You must configure
your tapN device with hardware address 7E:01:AA:BB:CC:DD, where AA:BB:CC:DD is your IP address in hexa.
EXAMPLE
If you are on server platan.vc.cvut.cz (147.32.240.81) and your migration agent runs on server boris.vc.cvut.cz, you can configure your
system with:
insmod ethertap
ifconfig tap0 hw ether 7E:01:93:20:F0:51 up
ipx_interface add -p tap0 EtherII
ipx_cmd -A boris.vc.cvut.cz -l 147.32.240.81 &
BUGS
This program was written to satisfy my own needs and should be really improved. At least it should configure tap interface itself.
