HMC update methods

Method 1. Using SSH and the updhmc command.

If the HMC is configured for remote ssh access, the fix can be applied using the updhmc command.

Log in as hscroot
Apply the fix using the updhmc command.
For further information on using the updhmc command run the command: man updhmc
Example: Applying fix direct from the internet FTP site
```
updhmc -t s -h public.dhe.ibm.com -u anonymous -p abc123 -f /software/server/hmc/fixes/ MH01403 .iso -c -r
```
Example: SCP fix to HMC and apply from local disk
scp the fix to the hmc /tmp directory.
```
scp -scp MH01403.iso hscroot@:/tmp
```
Apply fix from local file system.
```
updhmc -t l -f /tmp/MH01403.iso -c -r
```
Example: Applying the fix from DVD
Burn the fix to DVD-R (this can be as data or an iso image)
Insert the media into the HMC and run the command:
```
updhmc -t m -r
```
Example: Applying the fix from USB
Copy the fix to USB flash drive.
Insert the USB flash drive to the HMC. Wait several seconds.
Locate the mount point using the command:
```
lsmediadev
```
The output will be similar to the following:
```
device=/dev/cdrom,mount_point=/media/cdrom,type=1,description=CD/DVD
device=/dev/sdb1,mount_point=/media/sdb1,type=3,description=USB flash memory device 
```
Mount the drive using the command:
```
mount
```
where is the USB mount point returned by lsmediadev (/media/sdb1 in the example above). Run the update command:
```
updhmc -t l -f  / MH01403.iso -r
```
where is the USB mount point returned by lsmediadev

Method 2. Auto-install

Download the fix.
Burn the iso image to DVD-R.
Ensure you select the CD burner software package's option to burn as an iso image file; do not burn the file as a "data file".
Verify the DVD was burned correctly
If the DVD was burned correctly as an image, the root directory will contain one file named "cert2.pem" and one folder named "images".
Reboot the HMC with the DVD in the drive.
- Locate the HMC system unit (there will be a tag with the model of 7310 or 7042)
- Insert the DVD
- Push and hold the power button until the HMC powers off.
- Power back on by pushing and releasing the power button.
- During the reboot (just after the "Starting HAL daemondone" step), the HMC will install the fix.
- Remove the DVD from the drive
  The DVD must be removed from the drive before the next reboot to prevent it from re-installing. If the fix installs again, any changes made to user profiles since the upgrade may be lost.
