HMC updates managed system firmware on both T and P sides ?

Hi,

I'm planning to update managed system firmware to new release using HMC.
This is cite from IBM documentation describing HMC managed system updates:
Quote:
If any actions are listed at the bottom of the confirmation panel, complete them, and then click OK to confirm that the upgrade should begin. A progress panel displays the results as the upgrade proceeds. At the end of the process, the new release level of LIC will be installed on both the t-side (temporary side) and the p-side (permanent side).
What I know we install new firmware to T side and in case some problems we boot P side and reject new fw on T.
So if HMC updates both T and P at the same time - the question is why ?

thanks
Vilius

Managed Object(3m17n)						 The m17n Library					     Managed Object(3m17n)

NAME
Managed_Object - Objects managed by the reference count. Data Structures struct M17NObjectHead The first member of a managed object. Functions void * m17n_object (int size, void(*freer)(void *)) Allocate a managed object. int m17n_object_ref (void *object) Increment the reference count of a managed object. int m17n_object_unref (void *object) Decrement the reference count of a managed object. Detailed Description Objects managed by the reference count. Managed objects are objects managed by the reference count. There are some types of m17n objects that are managed by their reference count. Those objects are called managed objects. When created, the reference count of a managed object is initialized to one. The m17n_object_ref() function increments the reference count of a managed object by one, and the m17n_object_unref() function decrements by one. A managed object is automatically freed when its reference count becomes zero. A property whose key is a managing key can have only a managed object as its value. Some functions, for instance msymbol_put() and mplist_put(), pay special attention to such a property. In addition to the predefined managed object types, users can define their own managed object types. See the documentation of the m17n_object() for more details.
