Hi to the Gurus,

We have an HMC on V7.3.5.0, we would like to upgrade it to the current level, V8.8.5.

According to this document:

http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.nsf/ibmscdirect/23C4789BA6F5321886256FD300586B7F

the upgrade path would be:

V7.3.5.0->V7.7.8->V8.8.1->V8.8.3->V8.8.5

Is it correct?

My other question is: is it possible to do the upgrade remotely? (By using files downloaded to a local FTP server, not by using DVD sor iso images on a flash dirve) In this document (upgrade to V7.7.8)

http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.NSF/0/ece7c6d1526edf2986257c34004fbb25?OpenDocument&TableRow=5.2#5.

I saw that it is possible to use getupgfiles command from the HMC to download files from a local FTP server, not IBM's. On later releases it is not mentioned, but I guess it is possible. Is it really?
