    Hi.

    I currently have the need to upgrade AIX 5.2 from TL7 to TL9 due to SDD driver requirements on two machines. There are two machines which participate in a HACMP cluster (v.4.5 - cluster.es.server.rte version 4.5.0.15 on both machines) I know that this HACMP version is outdated and withdrawn from support and the upgrade to newest version is on schedule. How ever the need for OS upgrade is urgent due to the fact that we need to migrate the cluster disks from one storage to another because of hardware failure on the one the shared disk currently is.

    So the question is - is there anything special to be concerned about regarding this old cluster when doing this upgrade on OS level?

    When you have old software like this involved, the best bet is to try it on a test environment and see.

    You're only moving a couple of TL's within the same major OS version, so there's a reasonably good chance it will have no impact, but not one's going to be able to tell you that for certain, and the safest bet is to test it well in advance.
