Re: HMC model to code level mapping

Just whipping this dead horse but are there any known reason's not to
upgrade my 7310-CR2 HMC's to 7.7.4 (with latest fixes)?
I didn't get any replies the last time. Do I assume that's a good thing?

Hey Jim, care to retract?

Oh, if I had a dime for every time I wanted to retract...

This question comes up once in awhile but I am trying to find what levels
of HMC code are supported on what models of HMC.

I see documentation that says "HMC Model 7310-C03 cannot be upgraded to
HMC Version 7.7.".
http://www-933.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/firmware/readme?fixid=MH01273

I see what supported code combinations between firmware and HMC at:
https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/power5cm3/emtablep6.html
But even that is slightly dated since it doesn't mention 7.7.4 of HMC. (I

submitted feed back on that.)

And I know that my 7310-CR2 won't support Power 7 hardware.

But nothing that says whether or not it's acceptable to upgrade my
7310-CR2 HMC to 7.7.4

Note: I just upgraded all power 6 firmware to E*350_118.
