There's plenty of comments in the archives (and on-line) about the need for a power down being needed when applying disruptive firmware upgrades from an HMC. I may be missing it, but now that I have done that, and I have the new firmware on both the *ACTIVE and *TEMP copies, will I need that deep reboot for the *PERM apply?

For the record, our DSPFMWSTS on the sole partition shows:
Service Partition Yes
Firmware update policy *HMC
Server IPL source *Temporary
Firmware product ID/Release 5733909 V1R1M0
Update access key expiration date 07/21/21

*ACTIVE VL910_122 FW910.20 MH01799
*TEMP VL910_122 FW910.20 MH01799
*PERM VL910_073 FW910.00 MH01712

Fix pack, PTF ID and Update Status all show as *NONE/None.

I assume that using the green screen to *PERM apply all PTFs won't be enough to get the firmware copied to *PERM at the next IPL. What I can't tell is if the *PERM apply is as disruptive as the *TEMP apply.
