VIOS vs AIX matrix

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
