IBM 000-221 Exam Question and Answer

QUESTION 1

What is the difference between deferred and concurrent firmware updates?

A.	Deferred firmware can be applied concurrently but contains updates that affect the internal program load path, which are not activated until the next time the server is shut down and restarted.
