AIX 6.1 Client support was added @ 6.5.2.  You need to upgrade your master/media servers to at least that level in order for the Client to be Suppported.

GPFS is not listed in the compatiblity list for File Systems for 6.x

here's a good thread on GPFS

so can i upgrade my server to 6.5.x with this 6.0 license or a new license would be required..???
and can SL500 tape library be used with IBM p52A..????

waiting for your kind response..

Although you can upgrade with existing license keys(Yes, you can), it is better to request new keys for new version because keys for older version does not compatible with new features.
SL500 is also supported on 6.5.

Please bear in mind that both 6.0 and 6.5 will be EOL'ed later this year.

Best to request your 7.1 license keys and upgrade to that version.
