SOLVED: Upgrade from 5.3 to 7.1

What is the minimum version of AIX you have to have running in order to upgrade to AIX 7.1? I have a 5.3 machine that when I try to do a "rte" upgrade via NIM, it does the packet count from my NIM server but then reboots off its hdisks again. For some reason, it won't go into the installation and maintenance menu.

Code:

hostname:/:# oslevel -s
5300-06-01-0000

It helps if the LPAR meets the AIX 7.1 memory requirement of 512 MB. I only had the LPAR at 256 MB. After increasing it, the LPAR booted to the installation and maintenance menus.

NAME

       relup - Release upgrade file

DESCRIPTION

       The release upgrade file describes how a release is upgraded in a running system.

       This file is automatically generated by systools:make_relup/3,4 , using a release resource file ( .rel ), application resource files ( .app
       ) and application upgrade files ( .appup ) as input.

FILE SYNTAX

       In a target system, the release upgrade file should be located in the OTP_ROOT/erts-EVsn/Vsn directory.

       The relup file contains one single Erlang term, which defines the instructions used to upgrade the release. The file has the following syn-
       tax:

       {Vsn,
	 [{UpFromVsn, Descr, Instructions}, ...],
	 [{DownToVsn, Descr, Instructions}, ...]}.

	 * Vsn = string() is the current version of the release.

	 * UpFromVsn = string() is an earlier version of the release to upgrade from.

	 * Descr  =  term()  is  a user defined parameter passed from the systools:make_relup/3,4 function. It will be used in the return value of
	   release_handler:install_release/1,2 .

	 * Instructions is a list of low-level release upgrade instructions, see appup(5) .

	   It consists of the release upgrade instructions from the respective application upgrade files (high-level instructions  are	translated
	   to low-level instructions), in the same order as in the start script.

	 * DownToVsn = string() is an earlier version of the release to downgrade to.

       When  upgrading	from  UpFromVsn  with  release_handler:install_release/1,2  ,  there  does  not have to be an exact match of versions, but
       UpFromVsn can be a sub-string of the current release version.
