  • 1.  Preserve/Migration Installation...

    I have done a "Preserve" Installation from AIX 5.2 to AIX 5.3.
    Everything works fine.

    I decided to restore my backup of AIX 5.2 to try a "Migration".
    So, my system was at AIX 5.2, I boot from the CD-ROM and
    the option "Migration" doesn't appear...

    I try another CD, same result.
    I try the CD on another machine, and the 3 options are
    available (New, Preserve and Migration).

    What's wrong? Why the option "Migration" doesn't appear?

    Note that before testing the "Preservation" intallation, I have
    already done a "Migration". The option was there... Really weird...

    I took the disk and put it on another machine,
    and boot (5/F5) and I have juste two options (New & Preserve)

    Really embarrasing...

    Any help will be appreciate...
