Upgrading from 7.2 to 7.3

Question

I have 2 AIX 5.3 boxes, one of which is my current NW host the other is a client. The host also backs up a Tru64 UNIX box and various Windows servers and PCs. All of the Windows machines have 7.3 (don't know the build) but the UNIX (AIX and Tru64) boxes have 7.2.2 or older in the case of the Tru64 machine. The question is where do I get the upgrade and how do I install it? What kind of problems can I expect, is there any problems migrating from 7.2.2? I tried logging into the Networker Management Console from one of the PCs and it asks for a username and password, any idea what that might be? I hold really like some documentation on how to use this, anything would help (I've glanced at the admin docs). Will I have to start all over in setting everything up or will it come over automatically?

Installation packages are available on PowerLink in Download patches section. In documentation section you will find release notes and installation guide. I would suggest to read it before.

As for NMC, check documentation too - default l/p is administrator.

All existing settings will be reused.

I think it will work just fine as there are several customer so far I have seen running it on AIX 5.3.

I think I'm in trouble, the only thing they have listed for AIX is 32 bit. Does this mean I have been doing 32 bit all along? Will this make a difference even though our system is 64 bit?
