    Make sure that the firmware on each machine before performing the migration.
    This will be more critical should you want to migrate to 5.3 on the F50's,
    H80's and M80's.

    Subject: Migrating to AIX 5.2

    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.
