Planning to make the jump to AIX 5.3 from AIX 5.2.

Any issues or advice that folks may want to share?

Thanks

Update your system firmware, at least, ideally download the MDS CD and do all the device too.

As long as you have made it past 5.2 ML5 (shudddder) there should be nothing to worry about, but of course, take a couple of mksysb's first....

if TCB is enabled, watch out !!!! running tcbck could put you in a lot of trouble when running it with the old entries
