Chapter 4, Migrating the software on your RS/6000 SP system of this book discusses how to migrate your system to the latest level of AIX and PSSP. You should also refer to RS/6000 SP: Planning, Volume 2, Control Workstation and Software Environment to understand how to plan your migration. In general, you can migrate to |PSSP 3.4 and AIX 4.3.3 |or AIX 5L Version 5.1 (AIX 5L 5.1) from several starting points as shown in the list that follows. Note that you do not have to migrate your entire system at once. You can choose to migrate your system all at once or several nodes at a time.

If the starting point for a node migration is PSSP 2.4 and AIX 4.2.1, you must first migrate to PSSP 3.4 and AIX 4.3.3. A second migration is required to go from PSSP 3.4 and AIX 4.3.3 to PSSP 3.4 and AIX 5L 5.1. The two migrations cannot be combined. |
|To migrate a node, the node's boot/install server must be |running at or above the PSSP and AIX levels that you want to migrate the node |to. For example, if you want to migrate the node to PSSP 3.4 and |AIX 4.3.3, the boot/install server must be running PSSP |3.4 and AIX 4.3.3 or PSSP 3.4 and AIX 5L |5.1. You can use the spchvgobj command to perform the |following functions:
You can use the spbootins command to change the node to migrate or customize.
