Rob,
You're right on with this.
I've also noticed that IBM has improved there PTF apply processing.
So in this case, if a 2nd IPL is needed, this is automatically done during the PTF apply process.
With all new horsepower available, this is barely noticeable.
My last IPL with PTF apply on a P7 8205, 1.5 CPU, 200gb Mem, 100% SSD, was less than 15 minutes.
R&D LPAR, P7 8205, 1.0 CPU, 40gb Mem, 100% 10k spinny, 30 minutes.
Upgrade LPAR, P7 8205, 0.3 CPU, 8gb Mem, 100% spinny, 25 minutes

I suspect that probably has to do with the TR prerequisite PTF(s). For example, MF99010 may be required to be permanently applied before you can put on TR10. If you already have the prereq's applied then you may go smoothly without an additional IPL. They often release this 'enabling'
ptf quite early.

I have found that applying the TR patches after the groups and hipers and
before the second IPL gets the whole process to complete more cleanly.

Been running this now on Test LPAR's with no issues for about week now.
Also applied V7R1 (SF99707 - Technology Refresh 10) at the same time with
no issue.
Applying the patch to our last production LPAR's tomorrow night.

Paul,
It is a production LPAR (micro-partitioned P5). No off the shelf or named
applications, all custom. Primary uses are FTP, IFS (cpyto & cpyfrm),
Messaging, & ZendServer6. Running 1-week now... Hope that helps.
We're probably not your best app check benchmark.

Joe,
I applied to a "playground" LPAR with no issue.
My real question is Did any apps break?
How long are you running on this and is it a production for test LPAR?

Paul,
Installed on 06/17/2015 via virtual tape with optical images, no issues.
The install was on a 200gb 4-drive Raid5 Power5 and was extremely
current with Hipers, Groups, SF99711, and SF99707 at TR10.
Once the images were prepared and all prior PTF's applied permanently,
the Cumulative package was loaded and IPL'd in about 45 minutes.
Disk space used was 46% before starting, filled it to 57% at the high
point and back to 45% after completion & cleanup.
