We haven't had to do any FSP/HMC upgrades yet, so we haven't run into this
yet. How difficult is to do the FSP firmware upgrade, Rob? How often does
this need to be done?

And, are you ready for the big lie? When you go to an i5 (520, etc) there

will be no controlling partition. It's all done with a FSP (Flexible
Service Processor) controlled by a HMC (Hardware Management Console).

However, when you put on a firmware upgrade on to the FSP you still have
to IPL the FSP will which, in turn, require you to drop all the
partitions. Same stuff, different day. Even if you have redundant FSPs.
