You really need to match up HMC code with power firmware. And guess when
the level of HMC code supported on a CR3 will no longer match the firmware
desired.
https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/power5cm/supportedcodep7.html

For your question go to fix central, try to download hmc code and read the
"Description" link. You may see stuff like:
"HMC Model 7310-C03 cannot be upgraded to HMC Version 7.7. If an HMC is
used to manage any POWER7 processor-based server, the HMC must be a model
CR3, or later-model, rack-mount HMC, or a model C05, or later-model,
desk-side HMC."

Which basically negates my CR2's.
