When you figure it out, let us know.
Also, VIOS was just updated to 3.1.x to support AIX 7.2. Now they are
announcing the end of support for AIX which is the underpinning of VIOS?
The bigger question I have is what do I do with the VIOS partitions I'm
about to upgrade to 3.1.x? Hold off until AIX 7.3 comes out and a new
version of VIOS is available, or go through the pain right now, only to do
it again in another year.
The folks in Austin need to take a lesson from our friends in Rochester
about being more clear on the strategy.

Subject: AIX supported levels
I find this rather confusing, especially with the trailing note.
<snip>
Program number VRM Service discontinued Program name
5765-CD1 1.1.x April 30, 2020
IBM AIX(r) Enterprise 7.1 Edition
5765-CD3 1.1.x April 30, 2020
IBM AIX Enterprise 7.2 Edition
Note: The program PIDs are not withdrawing. Only the release level 1 or 2 is
announcing end of service.
</snip>
Ok, so how do you tie VRM 1.1.x into AIX 7.2? oslevel returns 7.2.0.0
And how do you reconcile that with:
https://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3T1012517
oslevel -r
returns
7200-03
oslevel -s
returns
7200-03-02-1846
I guess this means AIX 7.2
03 = TL3
02 = SP2
1846 = build identifier
