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

---------- Post updated at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous update was at 10:58 AM ----------

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

       unattended-upgrade - automatic installation of security (and other) upgrades

SYNOPSIS

       unattended-upgrade [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This program can download and install security upgrades automatically and unattended, taking care to only install packages from the config-
       ured APT source, and checking for dpkg prompts about configuration file changes. All output is logged to /var/log/unattended-upgrades.log.

       This  script  is  the  backend  for  the  APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade  option  and  designed  to  be  run	 from	cron   (e.g.   via
       /etc/cron.daily/apt).

OPTIONS

       unattended-upgrade accepts the following options:

       -h, --help
	      help output

       -d, --debug
	      extra debug output into /var/log/unattended-upgrades.log

       --dry-run
	      Just simulate installing updates, do not actually do it

CONFIGURATION

       The  configuration  is done via the apt configuration mechanism. The default configuration file can be found at /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unat-
       tended-upgrades
