Notes:
To restore a critical console data backup from USB flash drive, first perform a scratch install followed by an install of Service Pack 1 (PTF MH01428),  PTF MH01473 then  MH01467. Then restore the backup. If the backup was taken at an earlier fix level (before MH01473), reapply any missing fixes after the restore completes. 

1. 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.
2. This image requires DVD -R media.
3. 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.
4. The updhmc command line command has also been modified to use the *.iso file. 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.
