On this article we have just published the VIOS vs AIX matrix or VIOS vs AIX OS level .. I find this matrix very helpful while making decision to upgrade VIO of my client environment .. Please have a look and let me know for any confusion.
To determine AIX level , run the command :
oslevel -s
To determine VIOS level :
1) Login in to the VIO partition using the user “padmin”
2) Issue the ioslevel command:
# ioslevel
