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).

PDO_ODBC-DSN(3) 1 PDO_ODBC-DSN(3)
PDO_ODBC DSN - Connecting to ODBC or DB2 databases
The PDO_ODBC Data Source Name (DSN) is composed of the following elements:
o DSN prefix
- The DSN prefix is odbc:. If you are connecting to a database cataloged in the ODBC driver manager or the DB2 catalog, you can
append the cataloged name of the database to the DSN.
o DSN
- The name of the database as cataloged in the ODBC driver manager or the DB2 catalog. Alternately, you can provide a complete
ODBC connection string to connect to a database as described at http://www.connectionstrings.com/.
o UID - The name of the user for the connection. If you specify the user name in the DSN, PDO ignores the value of the user name
argument in the PDO constructor.
o PWD - The password of the user for the connection. If you specify the password in the DSN, PDO ignores the value of the password
argument in the PDO constructor.
Example #1
PDO_ODBC DSN example (ODBC driver manager)
The following example shows a PDO_ODBC DSN for connecting to an ODBC database cataloged as testdb in the ODBC driver manager:
odbc:testdb
Example #2

The following example shows a PDO_ODBC DSN for connecting to an IBM DB2 database named SAMPLE using the full ODBC DSN syntax:
odbc:DRIVER={IBM DB2 ODBC DRIVER};HOSTNAME=localhost;PORT=50000;DATABASE=SAMPLE;PROTOCOL=TCPIP;UID=db2inst1;PWD=ibmdb2;
Example #3
PDO_ODBC DSN example (Microsoft Access uncataloged connection)
The following example shows a PDO_ODBC DSN for connecting to a Microsoft Access database stored at C:db.mdb using the full ODBC
DSN syntax:
odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=C:\db.mdb;Uid=Admin
