There is a bunch of hardware that IBM i 7.2 will not recognize. Your Power6 machine likely has some of that hardware. As a result you most likely cannot upgrade your HOST partition to IBM i 7.2. You CAN have i 7.2 as a guest along with i 7.1 and i 6.1 guest partitions.

Lpars, can one of the Guest Lpars be 7.1
