Known Issue

Code update or upgrade from the HMC GUI for eBMC systems fails after selecting a specific level or latest with error:
HSCF0180E Operation failed. Could not unpack the firmware update package. Check the health and available disk space of the file system.

The workaround is to use the updlic command from CLI to point to the desired repository to perform the update or upgrade.
