Rob,

Power7 8205-E6C must be safe, I didn't receive any notifications.
Checked my current firmware, DSPFMWSTS, and then went to recommended fixes Server Firmware: Update Policy Set to HMC to confirm latest.
Appears my firmware is current, no changes since 06/30/14.
Am I missing something?

These were automatic notifications that I signed up for based on hardware I have or had. But, yes, there are firmware fixes for Power 7 firmware.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=power+7+firmware+poodle+site%3Aibm.com

Granted there are those who feel that it's perfectly fine to put stuff on your network like medical history, financials, payroll, high tech engineering drawings, blueprints for nuclear weapons (don't ask, I'd have to kill you), etc, but heaven forbid if you put your firmware access on your network when that should only be on it's own private network.
Those people will smirk at concerns about poodle attacks on their firmware.
