Rob,

You are correct in that statement. When you apply Corrective
Service to your FSP, you will have the same version but different PTF levels
(P & T side). When you change the version EL340 to EL350 you don't keep the
old one on the P side.

Kirk does that also apply when you go from EL340_xxx to EL350_xxx and not
just a EL340_123 to EL340_234? After all, when you upgrade from 6.1 to
7.1 you can't go back to 6.1 by IPLing from the 'A' side.

BTW: I had two boxes on EL350_071 and upgraded them already to EL350_085.
I had one on EM350_071 and upgraded it to _085. All updates were
concurrent. One of the EL350_085 has been IPLed. Multi FSP boxes like
the 9117 (which runs the EM350_085) will do my upgrade concurrent but will
call IBM because it gets confused. Scheduling an IPL later will help
clear up the issue.

HMC is running:
Version: 7 Build Level: 20100225.1 Serial Number: 103404A
Release: 7.1.0 Base Version: V7R7.1.0 Model Type: eserver xSeries 335

Server-9117-MMA 71 85 01EM350 None
Server-9408-M25 71 85 01EL350 None
