This package includes fixes for HMC Version 7 Release 3.5.0. You can reference this package by APAR MB03267.
Before you install this fix, PTF MH01204, you must first install PTF MH01197.
The Install Corrective Service task now allows you to install corrective service updates from the ISO image files of these updates. You can download these ISO image files for the HMC, and then use the ISO image file to install the corrective service update. You no longer need to burn CD-R or DVD-R media to use the ISO image file to install corrective service.
To install updates over the network, select the *.iso file on the "Select Service Package" panel of the Install Corrective Service task. The HMC application extracts the files needed to install the corrective service. If you are using USB flash media, copy the *.iso file to the flash media, and then select the file when prompted.
The updhmc command line command has also been modified to use the *.iso file.
Sample command:
updhmc -t s -h <myservername> -f /home/updates/<corrrective_service>.iso -u HMC_username -i
