Thanks Leo for quick response .

When i checked the same for /JAVA31 ,it was actually a symbolic link from
/usr/lpp/java which is actually a filesystem mounted over the VERSION root
.So ,that looks okay to me as i can mount a clone of that filesystem on a
new VERSION root specific to sandbox lpar . Then change the symbolic link
as required .

 But when it comes to /JAVA64 , I do not see any symbolic links like i saw
in the case of /JAVA31 . Is there any other way to check if /JAVA64 is a
symbolic link or not ?

 Regards ,
Baby
