No, you can do a painless migration straight to 5.2.<br />
<br />
(It doesn't hurt to run a mksysb first though)<br />

Well that is a comfort.<br />
Now on further examination I have a customer with 4.3.0.<br />
<br />
Do you think that conversion will be as easy?<br />

You can upgrade - but note that mksysb is incomplete and if you eventualy dump your system you will need backups from other vg's and raw database logical volumes<br />
(worked for me laike a charm on nonimportant system holding no unrebuildable data)

I am working with a client that has a installation of AIX V 4.3.1.<br />
<br />
We are planning to upgrade them to AIX 5l V5.2 in the near future.<br />
Do I need to take them to AIX 4.3.3 and then to 5.2 in a two step process or can I expect to go directly to 5.2 with ease? :-)<br />

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
