    Hi,

    We have P6-550 server running AIX 5.3 TL8SP1. We want to recover this mksysb on a P520 server. Will this be possible? or any compatability issues?

    Please advise.

    Make sure the p520 has a high enough firmware level on the system and all adapters and devices to sypport AIX 5.3 TL08 SP1.

    How are you trying to restore the mksysb?

    How was the p6-550 installed?

    If the p6 was not installed with all device support then you will probably need AIX install media at the same level, or a NIM lppsource at the same level, to pick up any missing device drivers needed by the p520 that were not installed on the p6 system.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your reply.

    P6-550 was installed using standard image with TL8sp1 lpp source from the NIM server.
    Daily mksysb backups are taken on the tape.

    I am going to those mksysb to restore it on a P-520. Will that work?
