Re: IBM HMC upgrade

Never tried it, I just use the network upgrade method as documented in Fix Central.

I don't think it will boot from an external drive like that though.

I have a 2TB drive that I would like to put the .ISO images on and then run the upgrades. We are at V7R7.2.0.3 and need to get to at least V8R8.40.2

Finally got the Power 5 system off of our network and want to add the new Power 8 to our HMC. When all is said and done, I will have 2 systems, one i5OS partition each, a Power 7 and a Power 8 frame.

Also anyone have a link to power system firmware to HMC version handy?
