Newer pseries servers run just fine using 5.1. Personally, I don't know of
that many application vendors or 3rd-party hardware vendors that work that
well (or at all) with 5.2.
5.2 reminds me a lot of 4.2 -- some specialty whiz-bang improvements but
otherwise a mess and different enough to cause problems.
In this case, IMHO, newer is not necessarily better.

Subject: AIX 5.1 and 5.2 compatibility with newer hardware question
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.
