or migrate your data from one server to another.

- Hardware Management Console (HMC)

The HMC is a dedicated workstation that runs integrated

system management software. As with other software,

your HMC should be kept current. For HMC Fixes and update

information, refer to the HMC Code Updates or the Server

Firmware and HMC Wizard documents at Recommended Fixes:

http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.nsf/recommendedfixes

For information regarding general HMC support information,

- Server Firmware

Server firmware is part of the Licensed Internal Code that

enables your hardware. As with other software, your server

firmware should be kept current. For general information,

refer to Information Center:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/eserver/v1r3s/index.jsp

For the Server Firmware and HMC Code / Installation Wizard:

Go to Recommended fixes at:

is applied to your system and follow the special

instructions. PTF SI34552 is included in cumulative

PTF package C9111610.

10. 18 Nov 2009 Before upgrading to i 6.1, ensure LIC PTF MF47179

for i 5.4 or MF47165 for i 5.4.5 is applied. Go

into service tools and run macro: SMCLEANUPOLDMSDSIDS.

If upgrading from an i 6.1 or i 6.1.1 SAVSYS or DLSO

tape, ensure that LIC PTF MF47070 for i 6.1 or LIC
