    Additional information


      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.
