Re: Upgrading to new firmware thru HMC and CUM set backup strategy.

When updating the firmware on the FSP from the HMC there really isn't
anything to be backing up. I assume you are on 01SF230 and upgrading to
01SF235, which will require an Cycle of the FSP, meaning that all
partitions will need to be down when this happens.
