    Additional information


      Notes:

 1. To burn the ISO image to media, you _must_ use DVD-R media
 2. The HMC *Install Corrective Service* task has been modified to allow
    corrective service installation by using the .iso packaging of the
    corrective service files that you can download from IBM. There is no
    requirement to burn CD-R or DVD-R media to use these files to
    install the corrective service.

      * To install the updates over the network, select the .iso file in
        the *Select Service Package* panel of the *Install Corrective
        Service* utility.
      * To use USB flash media to install updates, copy the .iso file to
        the flash media, and then select the file when prompted.
 3. 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.
