Hi all,

I'm looking for some help/advice on patching AIX. We are in the
process of moving from Sun/Solaris to IBM/AIX. We have a few p5
servers running 5.3 and I want to make sure the OS stays up to date.
On Solaris you could just download the latest recommended patch cluster
from Sunsolve, unzip it and install it.

How does it work with AIX? I've been to:

http://www-912.ibm.com/eserver/support/fixes/fcgui.jsp

I plug in my system info and then have to select from:

Technology Level
Service Pack
Maintenance Level
etc, etc

I have no idea which one I need to download/install. Does AIX have a
'recommended cluster' equivalent? If so am I looking in the right
place?

Dare I inquire about the equivalent to Sun's OBP/firmware?

Thanks
