14.1.6 Installing an individual HMC fix
In our example, as our HMC is not connected to the Internet, we have already downloaded
the relevant HMC fix file (MH00222.zip) to our i5/OS partition and have stored it in the
/home/qsecofr directory in the IFS (Figure 14-22).
Figure 14-22 WRKLNK for HMC fix install
The next steps show how to install an individual fix on 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 MHxxxx.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 14-23):
– Remote Site - rchas55 (this is our i5/OS partition name)
– Patch file - MH00222.zip (this is the 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)
