Operating Systems AIX Prerequisites for installing VIOS Post 302808567 by MichaelFelt on Friday 17th of May 2013 02:23:02 AM

VIOS is built on top of AIX 6.1 - installation of VIOS is basically an mksysb install, so by definition, you will overwrite any existing installation.

As long as the version of VIOS is new enough for your hardware the installation should proceed without problems.

Note: if you have an additional disk to install to, you can install VIOS on the extra disk, and after booting you can use VSCSI to create a client partition that can boot from your current AIX 7.1 rootvg.
