AIX boot server requirements

AIX boot servers do not have any special requirements. An AIX boot server can reside on the same subnet as the subnet of the client, or on a different subnet. However, AIX boot servers at a specific operating system version can only host SRTs of the same or earlier operating system version. For example, a 5.3.0.10 boot server can only host 5.1.x.x, 5.2.x.x, 5.3.0.0, and 5.3.0.10 SRTs, but not 5.3.0.20 SRTs. Likewise, a 5.2.x.x boot server cannot host 5.3.x.x SRTs.
