Firmware Query

[Database Administrator]

I would like to do ML upgrade on one of my (IBM,9133-55A)Power 5+
system.

Current OS Level : 5300-04-03
Current Firmware Level : SF240_219

and i would like to update to latest ML ie 5300-08

Can anyone please help me in knowing whether the current firmware is
suitable for doing latest ML update(5300-08) or do i need to update
the latest firware (SF240-338)before doing ML upgrade?


Thanks,
Dheepa

FYI:
From 5300-04 to 5300-08 is an TL update ( technolgy update )
From 5300-04-03 to 5300-04-09 would an SP update ( Service pack)


In case a firmware update is needed by an TL update it should be
noted . Eitherway you can check

http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/firmware/gjsn

for firmware updates to your platform.

A quick look even mention that you have to have a certain TL level for
an microcode update.

As detailled above, always check the firmware release notes for
details of minimal device driver / kernel / aix levels.. however, in
your case you **should** be fine.

Use disk cleanup. Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Disk Cleanup. It will load all of the things that need to be deleted(Temporary Internet Files, Downloaded Files, Recycle Bin, Offline Web pages, Temporary Files, Web client/Publisher Temporary Files, Compress Old Files(I would do this, but it will take a while to compress all the files, but may save you some disk space, and help your computer run faster.) Check all of those, then click OK. It will clean everything up for you.
