RE: Reverting to previous FSP code level

Rob,

You are correct in that statement. When you apply Corrective
Service to your FSP, you will have the same version but different PTF levels
(P & T side). When you change the version EL340 to EL350 you don't keep the
old one on the P side.

Kirk does that also apply when you go from EL340_xxx to EL350_xxx and not
just a EL340_123 to EL340_234? After all, when you upgrade from 6.1 to
7.1 you can't go back to 6.1 by IPLing from the 'A' side.

BTW: I had two boxes on EL350_071 and upgraded them already to EL350_085.
I had one on EM350_071 and upgraded it to _085. All updates were
concurrent. One of the EL350_085 has been IPLed. Multi FSP boxes like
the 9117 (which runs the EM350_085) will do my upgrade concurrent but will
call IBM because it gets confused. Scheduling an IPL later will help
clear up the issue.

HMC is running:
