About System Firmware Upgrade.
As a suggested practice we must upgrade the System Firmware to the latest one. Too latest is nmy general preference. I suggest for a firmware which is with a minimum GA release of 1 monPlease do have a copy of the new firmware release notes. This is very useful information.There are links to all pSeries sites from the parent site: http://www.ibm.com/support/
For Engineers we need to maintain only one copy of the firmware CD which works across all the p5
machines. This is made from the iso image and used with HMC for Upgrade.
A typical upgrade on a single frame p595 or p590 will take around 1.5 Hours and on a multi framemachine may take around 2.5-3 hours.
On a p575 frame (one p575+frame) it may take around 1 hour.
A typical upgrade on a fully configured p570 may take around 40-45 minutes.
For other low end and entry level machines also plan for around 40-45 minutes of upgrade time.If current version of the running microcode is above 01SF240_ 332, then mostly the updates can be
done concurrently. But if the current version is below 01SF240_284, a reboot of the Managed Systeis required for some deferred updates to get activated.
HMC allows to upgrade multiple machines together with the same firmware. But these ManagedSystems should belong to different frames. This is because the HMC puts a lock on the frame durinfirmware is getting upgraded.
