Operating Systems AIX Upgrading from aix 5.3 to ? Post 302551145 by h@foorsa.biz on Monday 29th of August 2011 02:04:20 PM

Never been in upgrade process for AIX before 5.3 to 7.1 directly I have the same configuration AIX 5.3 / SAP /Oracle and upgrade from 5.3 to 7.1 seems to be supported as far as I know.
Import sapvg and oravg , will defiantly work but as you said It will need more work.

I think EOS doesn't mean you are completely out of support , especially there are a lot of newer contracts still running 5.3

Quote:
The EOM date (end of marketing) has been announced for AIX 5.3: 04/11; meaning that AIX 5.3 will no longer be marketed by IBM from April 2011, and that it is now time for customers to start thinking about upgrading to AIX 6.1. The EOS (end of service) date for AIX 5.3 is 04/12, meaning AIX 5.3 will be serviced by IBM until April 2012. After that, IBM will only service AIX 5.3 for an additional fee. The EOL (end of life) date is 04/16, which is the end of life date at April 2016. The final technology level for AIX 5.3 is technology level 12. Some service packs for TL12 will be released though.

IBM has also announced EOM and EOS dates for HACMP 5.4 and PowerHA 5.5, so if you're using any of these versions, you also need to upgrade to PowerHA 6.1:

* Sep 30, 2010: EOM HACMP 5.4, PowerHA 5.5
* Sep 30, 2011: EOS HACMP 5.4
* Sep 30, 2012: EOS HACMP 5.5
