HMC update methods

Method 1. Using SSH and 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.
