Hardware Requirements for AIX 5.2L

#1 (**permalink**) 01-04-2008, 06:50 PM

Hi

Can anyone please point me into the direction for the
hardware requirements for AIX 5.2L. We currently have
a RS/6000 43P-140 (PowerPC type) but it only has
128MB of Ram. I suspect I may need another machine
and more Ram but I wanted to check first.

Thanks
Chris

43P will not work as it is PReP architecture and is not supported
under 5.2 (works with 5.1 though).

List of hardware not supported by 5.2:

for 'prep'

Chris,

Here's a link to IBM's release notes for aix5.2.

The 5.1 release notes were helpful to me as well.
