Re: Applying firmware

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It will happen automatically with the IPL to do the PTF apply. The *FULL 
doesn't really change the IPL type with respect to the PTFs. This is 
more of an IBM i setting.

What the MH PTF apply does is copy data to the firmware and then 'under 
the covers' trigger what's called a 'Deep IPL' which is where the 
Firmware itself IPLs.

When that happens you see the hardware go dark, the fans drop to zero. 
Then all the stuff you would expect after pushing the button to power it 
on happens.
