upgrade on AIX to E-server or P-server

[Dennis Malen]

Thanks Jean-Pierre,

We are going to make a couple of complete system backups and then transfer 
various directories over using ethernet.

My greatest concern is the issue of endians that Ken and John raised a 
number of months ago. Although both systems will be AIX, one uses a power 
chip and the other is an intel chip (I believe).
