We just upgraded our 570 to a "+" processor. That pushed us to get our
service processor firmware and HMC software current.

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?

Re: IMPL of P0 partition
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.
