Updating AIX OS

Hello

I have a server whose os level reads 5300-01-00-0000. It has to be upgraded to the latest level which is 5300-12-04-1119. What would I need to do go get the server to this point? Would I need to go through each patch level until I get it to current? If so, would anyone happen to know the next levesl to update to get it to current?

Thanks

There is a sticky thread up here in the AIX forum:
How to upgrade AIX Firmware & TL Maintenance Level in AIX

Best practice might check the readme of the TL/ML update. There is also usually the instructions or specialities etc. noted in it. You get them from IBM Fix Central. It should also say if an update is cumulative or not, but usually it is.
