Alternate for sed -i in AIX

Experts,

At the moment I am working in AIX box where sed -i is not available.
My requirement is as below

Two files file1 and file2. file1 contains the IP address, its count. file2 contains the Hostname and its corresponding IP address. I would like get the IP address replaced with the apt Hostname in file1.

Code:
# cat file1
192.168.20.8    => 1
192.168.20.24   => 2
192.168.20.6    => 2
192.168.20.7    => 3
192.168.20.9    => 3
192.168.20.25   => 4
192.168.20.26   => 4
192.168.20.23   => 6

Code:
# cat file2
192.168.20.6    ser70
192.168.20.7    ser71
192.168.20.8    ser72
192.168.20.9    ser73
192.168.20.23   ser80
192.168.20.24   ser81
192.168.20.25   ser82
192.168.20.26   ser83

My code is of:
Code:
for i in `awk '{print $1}' file1`
	do
	svr=$(grep $i file2 | awk '{print $2}')
	sed -i "s/$i/$svr/" file1
done

Expected Output:
Code:
# cat file1
ser72    => 1
ser81   => 2
ser70    => 2
ser71    => 3
ser73    => 3
ser82   => 4
ser83   => 4
ser80   => 6

But unfortunately sed -i is not present in my AIX box, please shoot me an alternative. Smilie
Also if the IP address is not found in file2, that row should be left untouched in file1.

XZDIFF(1)							     XZ Utils								 XZDIFF(1)

NAME
xzcmp, xzdiff, lzcmp, lzdiff - compare compressed files SYNOPSIS
xzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2] xzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2] lzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2] lzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2] DESCRIPTION
xzcmp and xdiff invoke cmp(1) or diff(1) on files compressed with xz(1), lzma(1), gzip(1), or bzip2(1). All options specified are passed directly to cmp or diff. If only one file is specified, then the files compared are file1 (which must have a suffix of a supported com- pression format) and file1 from which the compression format suffix has been stripped. If two files are specified, then they are uncom- pressed if necessary and fed to cmp(1) or diff(1). The exit status from cmp or diff is preserved. The names lzcmp and lzdiff are provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils. SEE ALSO
cmp(1), diff(1), xz(1), gzip(1), bzip2(1), zdiff(1) BUGS
Messages from the cmp(1) or diff(1) programs refer to temporary filenames instead of those specified. Tukaani 2009-07-05 XZDIFF(1)
