*ppc64 or ppc64le* - describes the Linux code that is compiled to run on
Power-based servers or LPARS (Logical Partitions)

    *General fix*


  * This PTF changes the file system used to stage HMC updates to
    another file system with more disk space.  This can avoid PTF
    install failures due to not enough free disk space in root file
    system and false reports of E212E136 triggered during the PTF
    install.  IBM recommends applying this PTF to HMCs at V9R1M921 iFix
    MH01808/MH01809 or earlier before installing another service pack or
    iFix.

    ** *Note: *This PTF needs to be re-installed if you install any HMC
    update prior to HMC9.1.930.0 on top of this PTF.
