RE: i5 Firmware to HMC Code level table?

   Rob,
    
    Do you relly want your FSPs at different levels? This to me sounds like
   two versions of Order Entry out there both pounding on the same set of
   files. If the versions are different would you not expect them to behave
   differently? If so what happens to your data, can it even be predicted?
    As the FSPs are in control of the heart of your machine would you not
   want them doing exactly and I do mean EXACTLY the same thing? If they were
   different then I would expect a cold frame reboot to switch between them
   and that can be done today between the "T" and "P" sides even on a single
   FSP machine. For them to fail over they need to be completely and totally
   in sync or as we have so often heard: "Unpredictable results will occur."
   (And it is highly unlikly these results would be good.)

     Yeah, and what really irks me is that even with redundant FSPs you still
     have to upgrade both FSPs at the same time.  Thus, you still have the
     downtime.
