RE: restart of Power7 box reveals HMC incompatibility?

The firmware update policy is set in the FSP, but you select the partition (or no partition which is *NONE) on the properties tab of the server form the HMC.

All of my installs that have an HMC I set my service partition to *NONE, and let the FSP be updated manually. This way, the administrator or my staff will insure that the HMC and FSP firmware stay at supported code combination levels.

In an ideal situation should you ever see this combination?
Service partition . . . . . . . . . . . . . : Yes
Firmware update policy . . . . . . . . . . : *HMC

If your Firmware update policy is *HMC, shouldn't your Service partition be No?

Where do you set "Service partition"?
Where do you set "Firmware update policy"? Isn't this the item I said earlier was in that ASMI setting?
