RE: New version of HMC.

Chris,

You can check from the HMC, but sometimes I think the best way is to
do it from SST, and this way you can see that the FSP is HMC Managed, and
not OS Managed.

Here are the steps I have from a user group presentation that I do,
on how to upgrade your i5/OS. There is correlation and dependency between
your HMC, FSP, and OS Release.


STRSST and sign in
Select option 1 - Start Service tool
Option 4 - Display/Alter/Dump
Option 1 - Display/Alter Storage
Option 2 - Licensed Internal Code Data
Option 14 - Advanced Analysis
Select FLASHLEVELS press Enter

You will see your levels

How do you check the HMC / FSP firmware. Our HMC is directly connected
to the iSeries FSP. HMC is at 4.5 (way out of date.)

What are the firmware requirements. We upgraded to 6.1.2 last month
(were running 2 year old code) and my Server Firmware is at Level 96 (EC
01SF225).
