  • 1.  Upgrade AIX without CDROM device

    Hi guys,

    We have two AIX 5.2 servers and I'd like to upgrade one to 5.3.
    However, that one doesnt have a CDROM device; so I can use it to boot to CDROM and upgrade.

    Both servers are on the same network so one can access the other.

    So my question is, is it possible to use the other AIX server's CDROM to mount the CD, but boot into and upgrade the first one?

    How is it done?

    Thanks
    Chris@LCMG

    Chapters 3 and 4 (especially 4.4) are good reads for you.
