RE: Bringing IBM i up to the "latest" OS patches

<snip>
On the fix central page I checked the
option for "POWER9 System Firmware VL950_092 (FW950.30)" which was the
level recommended by the FLRT tool. There are also a long list of
device/hard disk/media firmware options that I can also choose but since
they seem to be related to AIX and Linux, can I safely ignore them?
</snip>
Whether to put on the long list of other fixes I usually ignore for IBMi.
If you are running VIOS or AIX that's another matter entirely. There are some unique steps to get such patches on for those OS's. I can give you some samples for VIOS. However I tend to ignore them except when updating VIOS itself.
