Running different OS versions in different LPARs is no problem at all. I've
got an original 570 (Power 5, not Power 5+ or 6) and run two LPARs each on
i5/OS V5R3 and IBM i 6.1. Our first 6.1 LPAR was for testing just as you
described and we just recently upgraded another LPAR to 6.1. The others
will be upgraded eventually as well.

I have 570 MMA system with 3 LPARS. It is my understanding that I can run
multiple versions of the OS on this system.
Example 2 LPARS running V5R4 while the third LPAR is running v6R1. I would
like to test V6R1 in a test mode before converting the other partitions.
