Hello All
besides the rules that explains when the firmware upgrade of p5
server through HMC would be disruptive.
Is the HMC going to display the word disruptive if it were disruptive
during final confirmation something like "press OK to start disruptive
firmware" from where a point of return still exists...


Thanks for answer TIA

Correct

The HMC will mention whether the LIC upgrade will be concurrent
(perhaps with partial activation = deferred) or disruptive.
If the upgrade is disruptive, you have to power off the machine first
yourself before you start the upgrade.

From the "Operations Guide for the Hardware Management Console and
Managed SystemsVersion 7 Release 3.1.0" guide:

'If the update is disruptive, you are given the option of installing
and activating (incurring the disruption) or deferring the activation
to a more convenient time. Concurrent updates can only be done for
managed system LIC.'

Thanks a lot to all of you.
