Is there a way I can figure out the version of AIX on both of this VG's without downtime for the server.
Without downtime it will come down to some detective-work: read out the contents of the respective ODMs with the "odmget" command (stored in "<mountpoint>/etc/objrepos" and "<mountpoint>/usr/lib/objrepos") to find out about the information stored there. Start with "<mountpoint>/etc/objrepos/lpp" and "<mountpoint>/etc/objrepos/history".
Further, you can use the "what" command to find out about the version information of the system binaries in the alternative rootvgs.
I hope this helps.

DOWNTIMES(1) General Commands Manual DOWNTIMES(1)
NAME
downtimes - display system downtime records made by downtimed(8)
SYNOPSIS
downtimes [-d downtimedbfile] [-n num] [-s sleep]
downtimes -v
downtime [-d downtimedbfile] [-n num] [-s sleep]
downtime -v
DESCRIPTION
The downtimes command displays the contents of the downtime database in human readable format. The downtime database is maintained by down-
timed(8).
The singular form downtime displays details only about the last time the system was down, whereas the plural form downtimes displays all
records in the database. The -n option can be used to specify the number of downtime records to display.
OPTIONS
-d downtimedbfile
Use the specified downtime database file instead of the system default.
-n num Define how many latest downtime records to output. Default is all.
-s sleep
Calculate the approximate crash time by specifying what was the sleep value of downtimed(8).
-v Display the program version number, copyright message and the default settings.
EXIT STATUS
The program exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO
downtimed(8), uptime(1), http://dist.epipe.com/downtimed/
BUGS
The reporting accuracy in case of a system crash depends on how often the time stamp is updated.
