    Additional information


      Notes:

  * The HMC *Install Corrective Service* task now allows you to install
    corrective service updates by using the ISO 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.
  * If you choose to burn this ISO image to a disk, you must use DVD-R
    media.
  * *Installation methods*
      o To install the updates over the network, select the .iso file in
        the *Select Service Package* panel of the *Install Corrective
        Service* utility.
      o To use USB flash media to install updates, copy the .iso file to
        the flash media, and then select the file when prompted.
      o The *updhmc* command line command has also been modified to use
        the .iso file for installing corrective service updates. To use
        the command, follow the syntax in this example:
        updhmc -t s -h <myservername> -f
        </home/updates/corrrective_service.iso> -u <HMC_username> -i
    In all cases, the HMC application extracts the files needed to
    install the corrective service.
