Doug,
IBM recycles 'product line' numbers, so saying that you have a 570 and
that's it old doesn't help much... If you do a prtconf | more, the first few
lines provide the complete model number, serial number, etc., machine
architecture, and OS bit-level (32 or 64), which could then be used to gauge
exactly how old the system is and see if there is any benefit to upgrading
AIX to 5.3. IBM used to say that on the same p5 platform (your 570 may or
may not be p5), upgrading from AIX 5.2 to AIX 5.3 had an inherent
performance boost without replacing or upgrading any hardware. Another
benefit to upgrading to AIX 5.3 is that, with the advent of AIX 6.1, AIX 5.2
is now on the short road for support longevity (although I haven't recently
looked it up) without paying an additional charge. Lastly, keeping up with
AIX as you keep up with UniVerse makes sense, IMHO.
I don't know that I want to go to 6.1 as yet, though; last time I checked
the matrix, UniVerse 10.2 still wasn't 'ported' or supported on AIX 6.1.
Regards,
Bob Wyatt

Subject: [U2] UV 10.2/ AIX question
I see from the product matrix on IBM's web site that we should be able
to run 10.2.x on AIX 5.2 (yes I know its kinda old)
is anyone aware of any specific UV (or AIX) reasons that we would want
to upgrade to 5.3 before installing UV 10.2.x?
We NEED to upgrade I am just wondering if we HAVE to upgrade or if there
is a compelling reason to upgrade the OS related to UV 10.2
the system is a 570 (yep its old too)
thanks all,
dougc
