Yep. No problem at all but on POWER8 only.

POWER9 will not run i 7.1

OK, here's the real problem...

I need to be able to support v7r4 down through v5r3. I currently have a power7 server which supports a v7r3 partition, which hosts a v7r1 partition. I also have a Power5 server which supports a v5r4 partition and a v5r3 partition. The Power7 is starting to show signs of failure and is at end of service contract.
So, do I get a new Power9 server, which I presume comes with v7r4, and host a v7r3 partition and a v7r1 partition? I think I can still download v7r1 to load, but will v7r4 host a virtual drive that will allow v7r1 to be hosted?
