Re: OS version to Firmware matrix

[Jack Kingsley <iseriesflorida@xxxxxxxxx>]

Chris, I put in this model online in FLRT.  I am seeing the highest level
for this system to be AL730(152) using 6.1 and came out 6/28/2012.  The
level you are on appears to be 15 versions back.  I would guess that far
back it would be a disruptive update.  You don't mention what HMC levels
you are on which the FLRT needs for input.
