This will tell you if your firmware is set to update via HMC or via your
partition. Sample:
Service partition . . . . . . . . . . . . . : No
Firmware update policy . . . . . . . . . . : *HMC
Server IPL source . . . . . . . . . . . . . : Temporary
Firmware product ID/release . . . . . . . . : 5733906 V1R2M0

On one of my systems:
Service partition . . . . . . . . . . . . . : No
Firmware update policy . . . . . . . . . . : *HMC
Server IPL source . . . . . . . . . . . . . : Temporary
Firmware product ID/release . . . . . . . . : 5733908 V1R1M0
---Server firmware----
Fix PTF
Copy pack ID
*ACTIVE SV810_101 MH01476
FW810.20
*TEMP SV810_101 MH01476
FW810.20
*PERM SV810_054 MH01392
FW810.00

Don't you think that 'temp' and 'perm' make more sense than "A" or "B"?


Are you set up to *HMC or not?
