Chef client on VIOs? How do you manage your VIO configs?

no issues but as I said we just reinstalled them a couple of weeks ago to 3.1.0.21 so they are latest and greatest. But so far chef is doing a great job updating the root password, /etc/resolv.conf and other files to our standards - and it has not yet killed a box 
I am not sure how a 2000 day old VIOS would behave (not to mention that I am pretty sure that version is no longer supported by IBM since a while anyways - what do you have, 2.5.x?. Do you have any physical box with similar old OS you could try if it would generally work for that OS version? I am more of a chef user, so all I do is install the client software and run it and check afterwards that the initial run did what it was supposed to do

LIBGUESTFS(8) System Manager's Manual LIBGUESTFS(8) NAME
update-guestfs-appliance - update the supermin appliance used by libguestfs SYNOPSIS
update-guestfs-appliance DESCRIPTION
update-guestfs-appliance creates or updates the supermin appliance for use with libguestfs. It uses febootstrap for this, therefore access to the package repository is needed. A supermin appliance contains only lists of files and directories. The contents of the referenced files are only copied into an ad-hoc filesystem whenever libguestfs starts a virtual machine. Therefore, calling update-guestfs-appliance is only needed after libguestfs has been installed or when the filesystem layouts or dependencies of needed packages on the host system have been changed. FILES
/usr/lib/guestfs/make.sh (the script that does the actual work), /usr/lib/guestfs/supermin.d/hostfiles /usr/lib/guestfs/supermin.d/base.img SEE ALSO
