The next steps show how to update the HMC from an i5/OS partition. These steps can be
performed from the physical HMC or through the Websm client:
1. In the HMC Navigation area, click Licensed Internal Code Maintenance.
2. Then click HMC Code Update.
3. In the right-hand window click Install Corrective Service.
4. The Install Corrective Service panel appears (Figure 14-9). You need to select the second
radio button (Download the corrective service file from a remote system) and fill in the
supplied fields.
– Remote site - This is the FTP server hostname or IP address.
– Patch file - Enter the name of the relevant HMC_Update_VxRyMz_n.zip file.
– User ID - The user profile used to connect to the remote system.
– Password - The user profiles password used to connect to the remote system.
In our example we enter the information (also shown in Figure 14-9):
Remote Site - rchas55 (this is our i5/OS partition name).
Patch file - /HMC_Update_V4R4M0_1.zip (this is the first HMC update file in the IFS).
User ID - qsecofr (the i5/OS user profile used to access the i5/OS partition).
Password - xxxxxxxx (the i5/OS user profiles password).
