Re: HMC 4.4 (and above)

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Bad flashback.  Should have used file
/eserver/pseries/hmc/fixes/HMC_Update_V4R4.0_1.zip 
and then
/eserver/pseries/hmc/fixes/HMC_Update_V4R4.0_2.zip

I'll give this a try.

Re: HMC 4.4 (and above)






Either I am doing something wrong, or after the fiasco with the 4.2 to 4.3 

upgrade, IBM does not have the 4.4 upgrade available as a download.  I try 

using 
/eserver/pseries/hmc/fixes/MH00155.zip
and it says it's not found.
There is a lot of bold red letters on there about using recovery CD's. 
Suppose they mean it?

HMC 4.4 (and above)






Recently someone remarked that the HMC 4.4 code was rock.  That's good 
news.

Question:  When I upgraded from 4.2 to 4.3 IBM recommended that I NOT 
download, but instead I get, and use, the recovery CD's.  Something about 
that method rebuilds some stuff on the HMC that will make it run faster. 
Now, I just got off the phone with IBM tech support and asked them if they 


had the same recommendation when going from 4.3 to 4.4.  They don't. 
However, the person I talked to was not one of my usual contacts and I 
wondered if y'all heard anything to the contrary.  I ordered the recovery 
CD's on Monday and told them I needed them ASAP.  However IBM interpreted 
that as meaning you tape it to a dog in Boulder, shoot it once in the hip 
and point it towards Indiana.  Tracking number says it should get here 
Friday.  (Which I took off since I have to work 3rd Friday night to do 
other upgrades, like firmware, ptf's etc., and I was hoping to have the 
HMC upgraded before then.)
