    I am migrating 3 systems from AIX 5.3 to AIX 6.1.
    These systems are managed via a HMC.
    All the prereqs are done.

    When I am ready to migrate, can I put the install
    dvd in the system dvd player, open a terminal for the system
    within the hmc, do a shutdown -r , and wait for the prompts
    as if I had an ascii terminal ? The 6.1 Release notes
    is confusing and talks about fresh install only.

    Any url or doc reference will be welcome.

    benefits:
    • very short downtime (only for boot new system)
    • very fast rollback (just booting source system)
