Power8 support for ITM Unix OS agent

Question & Answer


Question

Is ITM Unix OS agent V6.2.3 supported on AIX running on 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

Power8 support has been previously claimed for ITM agents V6.3, as also documented in this technote:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21687681

Certification tracks for OS agents on AIX 7.1 / Power 8 have been also performed and successfully completed on March 2015 for Unix OS Agent V6.2.3 FP2 and V6.2.3 FP3, so also UX Agent V6.2.3 is now certified and supported on Power 8 systems.
