Re: HMC upgrade 6.1.3 to 7.7.1 ?

As of last week IBM does NOT recommend installing SP2 on V7.7.1.

Try using the HMC update wizard for learning what firmware is compatible with which software.

I believe IBM offers a "recommended" and a "current" release of firmware.

We just went with SF240_358 and V7.7.1 SP1 on several systems and all is well.

I have an HMC on 6.1.3 with no fixes installed. I know I need to install
the fixes. I plan on upgrading the HMC to 7.7.1 SP2.

I have found conflicting IBM web sites that state I can go to 7.7.1 with the
firmware level of SF240_332(which the system has) and I have seem some that
state you need to be at SF240_358. Does anyone know the answer to this.

If I do need to upgrade the firmware I know that it can be done
non-disruptive.
