In our example the new firmware is installed after 20 minutes. To activate this new level of
code, a complete restart of the managed system is required. After you have restarted the
managed system, use one of the methods shown in Section 14.2.3, “Displaying the current
firmware levels” on page 446 to see the new firmware levels.
This completes the installation of managed system firmware from the HMC.
