on AIX 5.3

extract this files
devices.fcp.disk.ibm.mpio.rte.tar
devices.sddpcm.61.2.6.0.3.bff.tar
devices.sddpcm.61.rte.tar

to: /usr/sys/inst.images/Migrate_SDDPCM/

delete old sdd drivers for aix 5.3

example: devices.fcp.disk.ibm.mpio.rte
devices.sddpcm.53.rte
devices.sddpcm.53.2.6.0.1.bff

run: /usr/sys/inst.images/Migrate_SDDPCM/migratePCMbeforeOSmigrate.sh

then shutdown the OS, and start the migrate to AIX 6.1 over NIM oder DVD / CD
