I have checked and found my AIX version is enterprise edition
But what is the PowerVM Enterprise Edition and AIX 7.2 TL support? and Power HA? ...
I confuse not to know which is suitable for my environment.
"Enterprise edition" means you can define and run LPARs with more than 4 cores and more than 32GB of memory. In daily business the difference between standard and enterprise (AFAIK "express" discontinued, but not sure about this) is NIL.
You can, using the chedition command, even change it.
When you upgrade from 6.1 (which is suggested, even if you have bought extended support, which might bring you up to Apr 2020) you may want to check the LPAR profile if your 6.1-partition runs in compatibility mode. If so, reset that before you boot into the 7.x installation.
Personally, i'd rather recommend using AIX 7.1.5 TL 5 instead of 7.2 TL2(or TL3? not sure). 7.2 is a major overhaul and - like all big changes - has a lot of problems. I#D suggest using the much less bug-ridden 7.1, which will be supported until 2021 at least and go to a (right now hypothetical) 7.3 once it is there. It was, btw., the same with version 5: 5.1 was quite OK, 5.2 (and 5.2.1 as well) was buggy as hell, 5.3 was stable from the start and got better with every TL. In the end 5.3 ran all the way up to TL13 for about 10 years.
I hope this helps.

Hello.
We are using AIX 5.3 with HACMP 5.4.1.
At this moment AIX and clustering are using 2 servers.
A third server is added.
It does not seem to work with HACMP.
Are there any controle checks?
Thank you if you could help.

Hi,
I have a P595 server with AIX 5.3 and i need to know what version of snmpd i use on this:
Example: On solaris i use Net-snmpd 5.4.2.1 (netsnmp-5.4.2.1-sol9-sparc-local) because i can see the package.
How can i see what snmpd package is installed on the AIX?
Thanks... (3 Replies)

Hello,
I'm now trying to learn AIX and I found lot of used AIX machines in ebay. I want to clear some doubts before I go for one.
1)Do I need a license to run an AIX machine?
2)Is there any Trial versions available?
3)Some Old Models of AS400 machines( model 150) don't need a license... (1 Reply)
