Question & Answer


Question

Are System P Agents V6.2.2 supported with new Power8 systems ?

Cause

When moving AIX LPAR on a new hardware, most often it is requested to maintain unchanged the applications running on the LPAR to avoid additional effort.
But it in this case it is important to know if the application version running on current hardware is expected to work with no major issues on the new processors

Answer

Certification test have been performed and completed with no problems on March 2015 on the following agents:

AIX Premium Agent 6.2.2 FP2 IF4

CEC Agent 6.2.2 FP2 IF3

HMC Agent 6.2.2 FP3

VIOS 6.2.2 FP2 has been instead previously certified together with VIOS 2.2.3.3.
