Re: Permanently Applying Firmware -- MIDRANGE-L

This is exactly what I needed, thank you very much. It worked
beautifully, though I actually did it at the console instead of using the
web interface.

I just did this on a system for you, with 3 lpars active and it was
completely nondisruptive. On that M25 I am now at 01EL320 level 83.
Accepted level was lower than that until I went through this. Based on
another box on site I suspect it was at 01EL320 level 61.

We're on an HMC and a 525. The HMC is on 7.3.3 and the sole partition

at V5R4M5. We are at CUM C8183540 and HIPER group 88.

I'm writing up the in-house directions for firmware updates, which we

had

not done until last week. This is HMC controlled and we now have:

*ACTIVE SF240_338 MH01079
*TEMP SF240_338 MH01079
*PERM SF240_332 MH00000

A couple times a year we make the OS/400 applied PTFs permanent. How

do I

do this on the Firmware? If it's in the console handbook I've missed

it.

Web searches will lead me to how to apply firmware updates, but I can't

find anything on making an update permanent. Is it just not done?
