the frame code (which includes the power subsystem) is updated using a task on the hmc. this task is normally performed by a service representative. a code update (also called corrective service) may be available at http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/mdownload2

    this task downloads a corrective service for the frame onto the hmc.

    because the hmc is a closed system, you cannot install additional applications on your hmc. all of the tasks you need to maintain the managed system, the underlying operating system, and the hmc application code are available by using the hmc’s management applications.

    to download corrective service on the hmc, do the following:

    1. from the hmc interface, in the navigation area (left side of the panel), open the software maintenance folder.

    2. in the contents area (right side of the panel), double-click the frame icon. the frame application opens in the contents area.

    3. in the contents area, click receive corrective service task.

    4. select one of the following by clicking on the circle to the left.

    1 upload corrective service from diskette. if you select this option, make sure the proper diskette is in the hmc diskette drive.

    2 download the corrective service file from a remote system. if you select this option, complete the remote site (hostname), patch file (filename or remote system), user id (for remote system), and password (for remote system).

    5. click ok to copy the corrective service to this hmc.
