    Hi,

     

    Yes, I have a p510 lying around. In fact it was only powered on a handful of times (long story). I wanted to know how do I determine what is the most recent version of AIX I could hope to install on the server?

     

    Thanks,

    Fearo

    On a 510 (regardless of whether it's based on Power5 or Power6) you can run AIX 7.1 with the latest TL and SP. No problem whatsoever. I've got a Power5-p520 at home which runs the latest of everything as well.

    Apart from the fact that it's relatively slow compared to later machines, the only real issue that I found is that the latest Firefox browsers refuse to work with the 40-bit encryption protocol that's offered by the ASMI menu. I have to keep a downlevel Firefox around simply to turn on the machine remotely. (I'm running IVM, so no HMC.)
