Very easy to use! For starters, the command syntax/help.
p.s. I would not do a "migration" from AIX 5.3 to AIX 6.1 or AIX 7.1, but would try, as much as possible, to do a fresh install. Having an mksysb image and/or a copy of /etc (for user administration, many applications configuration files) on a separate server is handy.
p.p.s. alt_disk_install is still very strong, but I think of it as "old school". In other words, I may be an old dog but MultiBos is my new trick/bone!
Hope this (in in time to) helps!

We are going from UDB DPF 8.2 to 9.5 and changing HW from P4+ to P6 and moving from 5.2 to 5.3. Anyone out there gone through this upgrade? Any words of wisdom, warnings, or other gotchas you could pass on. TIA.
