Re: HMC code update from the grave

Two things to keep in mind:

1) Watch for the relationship between the firmware and HMC. That is, don't update the HMC too far all at once so that you loose connection to the FSP.

-and more importantly-

2) Make sure you have the HMC access password. If you completely reload the HMC then it will 're-introduce itself' to the FSP and the FSP will require that password. (Yes you can reset the FSP with the magical switches but then it kinda forgets everything it knows.)

I had to make the same upgrade a while back. I hired an expert to do it. He ended up wiping the HMC and discarding the backup data. He reloaded the one server with one partition back from the service processor with no loss of production data. Your plan sounds valid and about what we did over a fuzzy and busy year ago.
