You neglected to say what model of HMC you had. This does have a bearing on what version of HMC code to run. We replaced all of our HMCs to upgrade to ones that could run newer HMC code and support above Power 6 hardware.

We're at HMC code 8.8.2.0 SP1. Been running this for a month now.

8205 E6C - V7R1 HMC managed.
HMC at 7770 SP 3 MH01409 ; MH 01422
Firmware currently at : AL740_152_042 MH01418 06/30/14

AL740_156_042 became available 02/02/15.

From the readme, this firmware is both Not deferred and NON Pervasive, so
can be applied immediately with no IPL.

I meet the minimum HMC code level, but higher HMC code level is
recommended.
The Minimum HMC Code level for this firmware is: HMC V7 R7.4.0 (PTF
MH01273 or MH01274) with PTF MH01275 (Mandatory efix).

Although the Minimum HMC Code level for this firmware is listed above, HMC
V7 R7.9.0 Service Pack 1 (PTF MH01428) with security fix (PTF MH01473)
and POODLE fix (PTF MH01484) or higher is recommended.

Any thoughts from the group?
