    I'd recommend 5.2 ML6 with:

    IY72942
    IY72761
    IY72712
    IY72701

    During an extended crit-sit on automount problems with ML1, I cornered a
    kernel developer, and, his recommendation was to wait 3 mos after an ML
    is released before using it. ML7 will be due by January by that rule.
    I'm already fiddling with it in NIM, but, a bird in the hand... I can
    forward you the readme's for the APAR's if you need.

    I'm going to be installing AIX 5.2 in the near future: migrating from
    AIX
    5.1 and AIX 4.3.3.
    Obviously I'll go through the IBM Installation guides and the release
    notes etc but is there anything I should be aware of that isn't covered
    in them, or which I might miss?

    Servers are an F50 and some p660-6H1s, using SSA of various types. It's
    a PSSP cluster - hence 5.2, not 5.3. CWS is already at PSSP 3.5 and the
    nodes will be upgraded to that. Applications are primarily SAP and
    Oracle.
    There's also a TSM server, (TSM will be updated), with a FC LTO Ultrium
    tape library.
