a SPOT (shared product object tree),
and the pSeries to be migrated will have to be defined as objects

AIX Firmware


To determine the currently installed firmware level, read the documentation for the
appropriate hardware system. For example, use the following AIX command for checking the
firmware level of the IntelliStation POWER 275:

lscfg -vp | grep -p Platform
This command will produce a system configuration report similar to the following:
Platform Firmware:
ROM Level.(alterable).......3F030703
Version.....................RS6K
System Info Specific.(YL)...U1.18-P1-H2/Y2
Physical Location: U1.18-P1-H2/Y2
The ROM Level line lists the level of the currently installed firmware. In the example, the
current firmware level is 3F030703.
