Here's the catch though: How often should you put on the PTF's?

IBM recommends the following as a basic fix maintenance strategy for all Power systems.

Apply the Cumulative PTF package quarterly.
Apply HIPER, DB2 Group, and server firmware fixes monthly.
Sign up for My notifications and begin receiving automatic notification whenever new or updated fixes become available.
For preventive maintenance monitor the following.
Review HIPER and server firmware fixes weekly.
Review LPs, Recommended fixes, and other Group fixes weekly.
