I am trying to find the images of AIX 5.2 (or 5.3) installation CDs. Does any one know web links to download? I was not able to find any. I am wonderying if it is not possible at all.
Not possible.
If you need the install filesets (or CDs) you will have to call your sales person or business partner.
Even IBM AIX support cannot provide install media or filesets because they are licenced.

I have achieved the intersting point with your answer. I have a remote AIX server without floppy, tape and RAM CD. There is no other AIX arround. The small volume root partition of the AIX is pretty full
but systems requires fixes of 1.2 GBytes.
I supposed that installation CDs that are lost could help in change of disk partitions. It could allow me to manage the inactive disk if I reboot with CD. Well.
Can I install the patch without installation CD?

/home2 and /home are data volumes. It is good to not use the data of these volumes unlike their space. It is possible to use space of /home 6G for example.

forgot one: which AIX-Version? I would do the following:...
It is AIX 5.2. I have worried about change of size of /usr and /var. Do you state that it will ok for the running system? I have supposed that I need to find any copy of Installation CD to boot the system from it for safely change of current filesystem. I was not able to create any bootable image since there weren't floppy, local tape, CD RAM and another AIX.

Anyone know where you can purchase a 5.1 cd set? IBM no longer ships this out and do not have a set. I have a burned copy, but would be nice to have the originals. I'd like to send my copies offsite for DR once i get an original set.
Thanks! (2 Replies)
