Good news ! 
The AIX feature of Live Update has been validated successfully on small- to medium-sized SAP systems and on one huge SAP system, all with ABAP stack. 
One of the features offered by the IBM AIX platform from AIX release 7.2 on is the Live Update ability, i.e. to update to a higher AIX technology level or service pack without any reboot.

The authors Ralf Kokowski, Bernhard Mollner-Reinbold, Paul H Hernandez and David Sheffield put a lot of effort into testing and any issues found were investigated, resolved, and documented in this up-to-date Whitepaper here. 

Are you an architect or specialist planning to use AIX Live Update for your SAP databases and application servers to minimize planned downtime ? Then we encourage you to read through this enlightening publication and find out significant information about: 
- Best practices
- Testing scenarios
- Conditions for successful AIX Live Update executions."
