AIX does not support Live Kernel Updates on PowerVS Private Cloud

AIX Live Kernel Updates (LKU) for IBM Power is a feature that allows system administrators to apply critical AIX security patches and kernel updates without requiring a reboot or causing downtime. This is particularly valuable for enterprise environments running mission-critical workloads, such as Oracle databases, SAP, AI workloads, and high-performance computing (HPC) applications.

Unfortunately, AIX does not support LKU on PowerVS Public Cloud or PowerVS Private Cloud. A fix is required to help our PowerVS Private Cloud clients maintain the same level of capability that they had for their dedicated, non-cloud, on-premises systems.
