RE: Reverting to previous FSP code level

["Pete Massiello" <pmassiello-ml@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,

	You are correct in that statement.  When you apply Corrective
Service to your FSP, you will have the same version but different PTF levels
(P & T side).  When you change the version EL340 to EL350 you don't keep the
old one on the P side.

Kirk does that also apply when you go from EL340_xxx to EL350_xxx and not 
just a EL340_123 to EL340_234?  After all, when you upgrade from 6.1 to 
7.1 you can't go back to 6.1 by IPLing from the 'A' side.

BTW:  I had two boxes on EL350_071 and upgraded them already to EL350_085. 
 I had one on EM350_071 and upgraded it to _085.  All updates were 
concurrent.  One of the EL350_085 has been IPLed.  Multi FSP boxes like 
the 9117 (which runs the EM350_085) will do my upgrade concurrent but will 
call IBM because it gets confused.  Scheduling an IPL later will help 
clear up the issue.
