I just applied VL910_122 FW910.20 MH01799 firware.
I did a power down of the server to apply the "disruptive" firmware.
However, I'm not sure if they applied.
This is my first firmware apply on P9 and 7063-CR1.
Did the process change for applying "disruptive" firmware?

Looks like you are like me, just with a slightly different version on your *PERM install. We need to follow the directions given by Rob Berendt below to apply to *PERM:

On your HMC:
Pick Systems Management. Pick your system (NOT your lpar).
Actions, Updates, Change licensed internal code, for the current release.
"Select advanced features"
Accept - Copy Temporary to Permanent

My question here, is: Will Accepting/Copying Temporary to Permanent require a cold reboot? Will it just update, and leave the system running? I'd prefer to not be remoted in at 1:00 am Sunday morning, but it beats bringing down a production system in the middle of the day....
