First thing here, I wouldn't do a hardware OR software upgrade on the
storage side in tandem with an OS upgrade. I wouldn't even do a device
driver update unless it was specifically required. My motto is one problem
at a time.
I personally would stick with 5.2 -ML04, and latest patches from last
month. I run several Oracle/Psoft servers all at this level and have had
little issue with anything, including my EMC.
You will need newer versions of PowerPath and CLArray software if you're
using Clarrion. Email me if you need any help with that or....and don't
forget emcpowerreset for the hdiskpower drive ODM definitions...I have that
as well if you need it.
5.3 is brand new and I really haven't heard a peep from anyone about
it......and I don't like that to be honest

AIX 5.2 verses AIX 5.3

Folks,
Sorry, have been away for a couple months so this question may have been
asked.
We have two IBM P655 that fill a very critical role. Because EMC would not
bless AIX 5.2 when we first got these systems, we stayed
back on AIX 5.1. Now, we are about to have a major maintenance weekend and
we are going to newer EMC hardware and software. So, my
question is, do I take this opportunity to upgrade these two servers to AIX
5.2 ML?? (that I know is blessed by EMC, has been out for
quite some time, is on all my other P655's and is stable)? Or do I jump
to latest ML of AIX 5.3?
I have heard very little about AIX 5.3 so maybe it is obviously not ready
for critical servers? Or has it too been debugged by many
sites using it? If you recommend 5.3, are there ML's and which one do I
want to go too?
Thanks,
