Re: Bringing IBM i up to the "latest" OS patches

OK.  Looks like the HMC version I want to upgrade to (V9R2M950) does support the firmware level I have.  I found that "match" here:

https://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/main/transform?xml=https://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/server/firmware/sfw_fixSupportedCombos.xml&title=Supported+Combinations

So, I am going to start with that step and see how it goes.  One step at a time....

Whether to upgrade the HMC or the firmware first is first controlled by whether or not the new version of HMC supports the old version of firmware you are on. If so, then I would upgrade the HMC first. Especially since you will be upgrading your firmware from your HMC.
