Re: Supported hardware on AIX 5.2 and AIX 5.3

The best resource is usually the microcode website. If you check for
the "Desc" of the latest code level and go down to "2.0 Firmware
Description" you can see if support was added for major levels.

In this case the 7043-150 is supported for 5.2 (until 5.2 is out of
support) and 5.3. 5.3 is only supported at FW TCP05287 and TCP04195.
On a side note, I think the 150 is a 32-bit machine, so, it won't
support 6.1 now or in the future.

TCP04195
* Added support for AIX 5.3.
* Corrected problem with auto negotiation at 10/100 speeds for
10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet PCI Adapter (FC 2975).
* GUI SMS menus replaced with text based menus.
* Enhancements to SMS network adapter menus to resolve various
configuration issues and ping test failures.
* Added support to provide response to APR requests for Hot
Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) or other network processes that generate
ARP requests during NIM operations.

Does anyone have a link handy that lists which hardware is supported for
AIX 5.2, and AIX 5.3?
I'm specifically looking for whether a 7043-150 is supported on them.
Thanks.
