    You can't use LiveUpdate with sas disks, the LPAR must be fully virtual, either VSCSI or NPIV for disk and Virtual eithernet or vNIC for networking.

    You also have physical I/O devices in the LPAR.  There is nothing strange about the error you are receiving.  You are attempting to use LiveUpdate with a LPAR configuration that doesn't meet the requirements for LiveUpdate.  To use LiveUpdate the LPAR must be fully virtual I/O, you can't have any physical I/O devices present.  It's basically the same setup that is required for LPM.  If this LPAR is not setup for LPM, then also, you can't use LIveUpdate.
