Hi *,

I was told by a work collegue that newer pseries servers, which includes
the POWER4+ ones (p690, p670 and others), just accept AIX 5.2 as its OS, so
AIX 5.1 would be deprecated (or not supported). Is that true? If it is, is
there any technical gap regarding AIX 5.1 install on these newer servers?

TIA,

Alexandre Sato.
