    Hi All,

    We are considering running 8.1.7 (32 bit) on AIX 5.1. This is a certified configuration, however I was wondering if anyone was using this or knew of any issues with this configuration?

    Many thanks in advance.

    Where did you see that 8.1.7 is certified on AIX 5.1?

    We are installing a new IBM p670 with the AIX 5.1L OS and hear from both IBM and from Oracle that only Oracle 9i release 2 is certified?

    It would be better if we could install 8.1.7 to avoid having both a new OS and a different Oracle release to contend with at once.
