Additional information

Notes:

The Install Corrective Service task now allows you to install corrective service updates from the ISO image files for 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.
The ISO image requires DVD-R media (should you choose to burn the image to media).
To install the 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 use USB flash media to install updates, 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 to install corrective service. Follow the syntax in this example:
updhmc -t s -h <myservername> -f </home/updates/corrrective_service.iso> -u <HMC_username> -i
