    Hi Friends,

    I have never done migration from AIX 5.3 to AIX 6.1, but one of my colleague told me that for 5.3 to 6.1 migration to work all the lv names should be of less than 10 character in length. Is the lv name length is for rootvg's lv or all lv's?

    Thanks & Regards,

    logical volume name must be system-wide unique and can range from 1 to 15 characters. If you use alt_disk_install for AIX migration you'll see the prefix "alt_" for all rootvg LV names in cloning step, so the original LV name must not be longer as 11 characters.
    Another thing: do a firmware prerequisites review before AIX migration.

    regards.
