    Hi Subba,

    yes, it works. Or better to say - it worked many years ago. Both 6.1 and 7.1 are out of support and you may have issues, because none of them is supported and tested nowadays. 

    For reference - an old presentation of Chris Gibson regarding the topic. http://gibsonnet.net/aix/Migrating_to_AIX71_nimadm.pdf
