Rob, QQ, I noticed in your write up you went from IBMi TR3 to TR5. Do you
typically skip TR levels.

Apparently IBM is aware of this error. It's no big deal and if I would
have noticed the new firmware which came out Thursday 2021-09-16 I would
have applied that and it would have been resolved by that.
POWER9 System Firmware VL950_087 (FW950.20)
01VL950_087_045.rpm

Saturday was the day I put on
POWER9 System Firmware VL950_075 (FW950.11) on my P9 9009-42A
I had put that '075 firmware on my P9 9009-41A a day prior to the '087
upgrade being available.

They came out with a firmware upgrade for my P8 8286-41A on Thursday
also. Maintenance on it was done at the beginning of last week.
