Learn how to obtain server firmware fixes and operating
system fixes at the same time through IBM® i if you do not have
a management console.
Installing the server firmware fixes through the operating
system is a disruptive (nonconcurrent) process.
Notes: - If your system is managed by a management console, you must apply server
firmware through the management console.
For details, see Managed system updates.
- If you have a Virtual I/O Server that is managed by an Integrated Virtualization Manager (IVM), you need to
obtain fixes through the IVM.
Important: Do not interrupt this process after
you begin.
- Is your IBM i system
or logical partition connected to the Internet?
- Yes: Continue with step 2.
- No: Order the fix on CD. For details, perform the following
steps:
- Go to the IBM i Knowledge Center website http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i and
select from the following options:
- If you select V7R2, expand IBM i 7.2 Knowledge Center.
- If you select V7R1, expand IBM i 7.1 Knowledge Center.
- Expand .
- After you have the CD, continue with step 2.
- Use the IBM i program temporary fix
installation functions on your service partition to install the server
firmware fixes.
- For details on using fixes, from the IBM i Knowledge Center expand .
- For instructions on how to install the server firmware fixes along
with IBM i fixes,
from the IBM i Knowledge Center expand .
Note: When you shut down the IBM i service partition to
install the server firmware fixes, system reference code D6xx430B
or D6xx430A might be displayed for an extended
period. The xx will increment periodically, and
is a normal part of processing when server firmware fixes are being
installed. Allow the server to complete the processing; do not interrupt
this process.
- To verify that the fix is installed correctly, from the IBM i Knowledge Center expand .
