Hi Lucas -
I just installed C9104 yesterday, including SI30387 and didn't notice
any issues. But we were only going from C8305.
SI30387 is "Update Service Monitor policy file" My guess is the the PTF
after SI30387 is causing your wait, on our box that was SI30803, which
refers to QDMCOPEN and a "Damaged DMCQ." But if you were two years
behind yours could be anything.

Subject: IPL hangs at C900 2967, PTF SI30387 on a V5R4 system
Hi all,
I'm at a customer right now, trying to get his system from V5R4 CUM
Level 06xxx to 09104. A 9405-520.
Unfortunately, the system hangs during installation of i5/OS PTF, namely
at SRC C900 2967, mentioning that it is installing PTF SI30387.
The clock at the top right is no longer moving forward - by now, it's
about one hour since the last time it was refreshed.
Right now, i'm waiting on a callback from IBM Support, but as always
this can take it's sweet time.
I already did the first IPL for the prereq PTFs, which worked without a
hitch. Then came the second IPL, which took quite some time during C600
4301, which is normal. But now, the clock has stopped moving forward.
I'm worried, this hasn't happened before. I've checked the appropriate
guide at:

1e/b3b492000cef6d1b8625710e0073b543?OpenDocument
But there is no PTF marked defective here.
I've installed exactly the same CD packages on a 270 and on a 515, where
it worked without issues.
This is the first time i've had a problem like this, and IBM hasn't
called back in the last 30 minutes, so i'm unsure on how to proceed.
Any idea, i'd be thankful :)
Regards,
Lukas
