Upgrading to maintenance releases
I have several RS/6000 servers running Aix 5.2 maintenance release 1. I determined this by running oslevel -r. I would like to upgrade these servers to the most current release and wanted to know if there is anything besides backups and mksysb's that I should do before hand. I looked at the installation tips and everything seems straight forward. Is there any hardware issues that I should look into first? Meaning would I need to check if the machine I was upgrading is capable of running this new maintenance realease? Do I need to update the system firmware first?
Any feedback based on your experiences would be appreciated.
Thanks
