I was under the impression that the Deep IPL didn't happen until you manually selected RESTART(*NO) for the IPL...
And, with an HMC, (at least, with multiple LPARs) that means every LPAR has to be shut down... or they will become shut down!
As I read the instructions for the latest MH PTF, we'll move from SV840.yyy.zzz to SV860.yyy.zzz. (I think) it said if the '840' changes, that's a full power-off (Disruptive) CEC IPL...
Or have I missed something?

Subject: Re: Applying firmware
It will happen automatically with the IPL to do the PTF apply. The *FULL
doesn't really change the IPL type with respect to the PTFs. This is
more of an IBM i setting.
What the MH PTF apply does is copy data to the firmware and then 'under
the covers' trigger what's called a 'Deep IPL' which is where the
Firmware itself IPLs.
When that happens you see the hardware go dark, the fans drop to zero.
Then all the stuff you would expect after pushing the button to power it
on happens.
