    Probably about 2 hours for the actual firmware upgrade and power-cycle. However, for planning purposes, I'd suggest you plan for much more.

    Factor in:
    Shutting down LPARs
    Pre-upgrade checks
    Pre-upgrade backup
    Verification
    Starting up LPARs
    Usually shutdown/startup of LPARs takes longer than the firmware because of the
    coordination with customers.
