What I'm gathering from your statement is :
If you do not have an HMC, then you have a primary partition and have the
OS version (+/-) restriction.
If you have an HMC, you don't have Version Release restriction.
Not exactly. Power5 and newer models require a HMC for multiple IBM i
partitions (i think there is something integrated for Linux
partitions, but it doesn't matter). So without a HMC, no partitions.
Now, the newer hardware does not have direct IBM i Version/Release
restriction depending on what LPARs you run - just on what hardware
you run.
The POWER 550 machine (which i mentioned) is a POWER6 machine and does
not run V5R3. However, as others already mentioned, older Power 5
based 550s can run V5R3. But if you want partitions, you'll still need
an HMC.
