Honestly, I've not worked with a single lpar system since Power 4.
The command is DSPFMWSTS. WRK... implies you have options other than display.

Kind of lays it all out right here:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/9009-41A/p9ha5/fix_firm_i5os_nohmc.htm
This has a note which says: " For instructions on how to install the server firmware fixes along with IBM i fixes, from the IBM i Knowledge Center expand IBM i and related software > Maintaining and managing IBM i and related software > Using software fixes > Installing fixes."
There are NO instructions specific to installing server firmware fixes at that link. That link is (for 7.3):
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_ibm_i_73/rzam8/rzam8fixinstall1.htm
Neither mention any extra special steps. Perhaps there used to be but newer versions of IBM i no longer require this and they just haven't updated any of the Power Systems Knowledge Centers accordingly? I added a comment at that page.

There is a note in the first link which says:
"When you shut down the IBM i service partition to install the server firmware fixes, system reference code D6xx430B or D6xx430A might be displayed for an extended period. The xx will increment periodically, and is a normal part of processing when server firmware fixes are being installed. Allow the server to complete the processing; do not interrupt this process."
