Re: i5 Firmware to HMC Code level table?

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Last time I spoke to the folks about this issue the comment was "There 
is no specific REQUIRED HMC level for any given firmware. That does NOT 
mean they recomend that you stay way far back on HMC code. It is 
certainly more likely that current HMC code (i.e. 6.1) can handle any i5 
FSP update than an old HMC level updating a current FSP.  In dealing 
with HMCs and Firmware I make it a practice of keeping them as close as 
possible with the HMC leading the firmware.
