Here's the support info provided by IBM:
1. For AIX 5L V5.3 VIO clients, only the APV VIOS is supported by IBM.
2. Linux VIO clients may use the APV VIOS or the Linux VIO server.
So it seems to be that having Linux VIO client is a better choice.
But do i want to run linux on such expensive IBM hardware??!
I can achieve better performance, availability and serviceability by running linux on x64/x86 server.
Conclusion is Linux VIO client / server is only meant for rich and affordable customers.
