    *General fix*


  * Fixed an issue with restoring backup of HMC critical console data.
    This issue halts the process of restore with following error message
    at HMC local console:
    "/A critical error occurred during the recovery of archive data.//
    //The system may be unstable. It is recommended the HMC be
    re-installed and manually reconfigured.//
    //Failing Component://
    //TASK_RESTORECCD//
    //Contact your service representative to determine the severity//
    //of this condition if you choose to proceed. Press <Enter> to//
    //continue the boot sequence or press 'R', then <Enter> to//
    //re-install the HMC./"
