RE: Power7 Firmware update question - HMC code level

why you dont try to download whit download director? its easy and fast, mmm i install the recovery and then the first mandatory fix, and then i install the SP2 and not have any problem, i have problems when i restore the critical data, but i think i try to restore whitout fixes, but bypass these task and do well all, mmm in my experience, recognice the P7 well and fast.

Sorry, but DON'T install SP2 on your HMC. Once I installed it I wasn't
able to connect to my P7 server.

When I'm doing just the HMC I usually just put the code on the IBM i and get it from there.

Yeah, me too. I seem to have difficulties sometimes trying to download from IBM's ftp site (finding it is the first trick).

Downloading the files to an FTP site inside your network works extremely
well.

When I'm doing just the HMC I usually just put the code on the IBM i and
get
it from there.

I've used about all those options.
With my new HMC's I started out with new DVDs. Major upgrades I use flash
drives. For service packs and whatnot I've done via ftp directly from the
HMC.

Rob,

Thanks for links.
I'm planning on going to 8.8.2.0 SP1.
However, this will need to be a two step.
7.7.7.0 to 7.7.7.9 SP 1
7.7.7.9 SP1 to 8.8.2.0 SP1.

1) Which upgrade option do you use?
Iso images ; Ordering/using DVDs/CD ; Download Direct from IBM to HMC

2) Have you ever used flash drive for code updates?

Paul
