Yep that's what I'd do. All those upgrade steps will take forever. With just one system and few users on the HMC (You do have more than just hscroot correct? :-) ) it truly is easier just to scratch load it with 8.8.6.0

Spend a little time recording things like IP addresses, but that's most of what you need to get correct, right there.

Would it be easier to just install the latest version of the HMC that the 7042CR6 will handle as well as the firmware and do a scratch install since I only have one system on it? It should be able to pull the running system and build its inventory easily?

Else I have to step upgrade from V7R7.2 to V7R7.7 to V7R7.9 to V8R8.2 to V8R8.4 which I know the power 8 will utilize. Final step would be to V8R8.6

If I can go direct to V8R8.4 which I have in a second data center and know the Power 8 is covered. I will first see what firmware I need to install to get the Power 7 supported.
