I am helping a customer prep for a V5R4M0 upgrade from V5R3M0 on a 520. They have an HMC and two i5/OS partitions. They have ordered and received the i5/OS upgrade CD's (missing the I_BASE_01 CD as posted earlier) but I think I am not done preparing, yet. I think I need to upgrade the HMC as well and the FSP firmware, yes?

The "about" on the HMC shows:

V 4.0
Release 3.3
HMC Build level 20050114.1
MH00224
Backup/Restore fix level (02-17-2005)

Fortunately, fix central has some information about HMC and software levels and it looks like the first issue is what HMC level do I want to upgrade to. I assume that I want to go to the latest level (V7 R3.1.0 ?) Is there a downside to this? Is there something that requires that I upgrade a version at a time?

With the HMC in the mix I am out of my comfort zone a bit. I just want to make sure I include the HMC as part of this upgrade. Suggestions? Resources?

Thanks,

Pete Helgren
