I was told by IBM people who know these things that the HMC level to FSP
level is not as important as we once thought it to be.
Effectively the rues are:
1) If your system is supported by that HMC release then the HMC will
work with any level of FSP code releases prior to that HMC release.
NOTE: Capability may be missing if FSP code is downlevel!
2) Don't mix HMC releases on the same server. (e.g. for redundant HMCs
keep them at the same level and service pack.)
So since HMC Version 8.anything does not support POWER5 that's
completely off the table. If you have POWER5 don't go there.
Since 8.8.2 is brand new and does support POWER8, it should work with
any FSP level currently available.
THAT SAID this does NOT mean you can ignore FSP Levels! It just means
that you can upgrade your HMC first, get that done and then do the FSP
code later during low usage times (concurrent) or during a maintenance
window (disruptive).

was hoping the compatibility was being updated.
I opened a ticket to confirm compatible levels of HMC code. The gent had
no knowledge of the existence of the outdated website. He uses the other
one. He may shake some bushes but recommended that I hit the web feedback
button - which I did.
