To burn the ISO image to media, you _must_ use DVD-R media 2. The HMC *Install Corrective Service* task has been modified to allow corrective service installation by using the .iso packaging of the corrective service files that you can download from IBM. There is no requirement to burn CD-R or DVD-R media to use these files to install the corrective service. * To install the updates over the network, select the .iso file in the *Select Service Package* panel of the *Install Corrective Service* utility. * To use USB flash media to install updates, copy the .iso file to the flash media, and then select the file when prompted. 3. The *updhmc* command line command has also been modified to use the .iso file for installing corrective service updates. To use the command, follow the syntax in this example: updhmc -t s -h -f -u -i In all cases, the HMC application extracts the files needed to install the corrective service. Back to top <#ibm-content>
