My understanding is if you do not keep you HMC up to date as well, a FSP
update can break communications to the HMC. Do you have an alternate
system console configured? The HMC and FSP need to be kept in sync.

Subject: HMC - FSP Upgrade
Looking at switching from HMC managed FSP updates to i5/OS controlled.
The
reason is for convenience as we have a standard PTF application cycle,
but
nothing for the service processor updates. I am under the impression
that OS
managed FSP updates is not a best practice.
Was curious what you all think? Seems to me like there would be some
potentially major "gotchas"?
