    Terminology

*x86* -  This term is used to reference the Intel hypervisors (KVM,
VMWare, Xen) on which Virtual HMC can be installed. *Note:* HMC V10R1
release for x86 is not supported on bare metal (7042 hardware appliances).
*ppc64 or ppc64le* - describes the Linux code that is compiled to run on
Power-based servers or LPARS (Logical Partitions)


    PTF MF70430 HMC V10 R1 M1010.3 – for vHMC for x86_64 hypervisors 
    (5765-VHX)

This package represents a required fix for the HMC V10 R1 M1010 for vHMC
on x86_64 hypervisors to be used as a prerequisite before performing
network install/upgrade of HMC V10R2 M1030. You can also reference this
package by APAR MB04368 and PTF MF70430. This PTF can be installed on
V10R1 M1010 base level or any subsequent service packs with or without
additional fixes but *must* be the LAST PTF installed prior to upgrading
to V10R2.

*
General fix*


  * This required prerequisite PTF allows to perform V10R2 M1030 recover
    install/upgrade using network install images over an existing V10R1
    M1010 and above image. If this PTF is not installed, the HMC
    saveupgrade or overwrite install of V10R2 M1030 will fail while
    verifying the install images before the installation begins with
    this error:
    "/The file disk1.img appeared to be missing, or the transfer did not
    complete successfully, resulting in an incorrect file size or
    checksum. Please retry the operation./"

  * For network installation or upgrade of V10R2 M1030 this
    pre-requisite is mandatory except in the following cases:
      o If physical HMC was freshly installed with 950 or 1010 using ISO
        images.
      o If virtual HMC was freshly created with 950 or 1010 levels.
