    I would never do multiple upgrades together (EMC & AIX). Do EMC this
    weekend and AIX ML patches another day. Why mix up the variables :).

    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,
