    Well, John, that is a truly rosy picture.

    So, which poison do you recommend? Sounds like ML04 or ML02?

    5.2 ML0
       Too many problems to list.
    5.2 ML1
       Several crash fixes, but automount/nfs is horrible
    5.2 ML2
       Several crash fixes, many nfs/autofs fixes, broke some HACMP (tcpip changes) and Oracle (ipcrm and wouldn't start)
    5.2 ML3
       Key word is Corruption, as in jfs/jfs2
    5.2 ML4
       Haven't seen anything yet.

    Subject: [aix-l] 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,
