14.1.1 How to determine the HMC installed software level
There are various ways to display the current HMC software level depending on whether you
are using the true HMC console, the Websm client, a restricted shell terminal, or an ssh client.
HMC console
From the true HMC console, select Help → About Hardware Management Console from
the HMC desktop toolbar.
A panel similar to the one shown in Figure 14-1 is displayed. This screen shows the installed
HMC version, release, and build. Notice that any individual fixes that have been applied to the
HMC are also shown here.

HMC Websm Client
From the HMC Websm client, select Licensed Internal Code Maintenance → HMC Code
Update in the HMC Navigation area. A screen similar to the one shown in Figure 14-2 is
displayed.
Important: You cannot see if any individual HMC fixes have been applied to the HMC
through the Websm client. You can only see the version and release level of the HMC.
