    Installation

*Install**instructions*

*NOTE*: Users that have upgraded to V7R7.8.0 and who can successfully
log into the GUI (or successfully log into ssh with user ids other then
hscroot) do not need to apply this fix.

The fix must be installed using one of the following two methods.

  * *Method 1: Using ssh and updhmc command*

If the HMC is configured for remote ssh access, the fix can be applied
using the updhmc command.

a. Log in as hscroot using ssh

b. Apply the fix using the updhmc command.

For further information on using the updhmc command run the command: man
updhmc

The HMC must be rebooted after the fix is installed. To reboot the hmc
either include the "-r" switch on the updhmc command or, after the
install completes, run the command hmcshutdown -r -t now

  *

    *Method 2: Auto-install*

a. Burn the iso image to DVD-R.

Ensure you select the CD burner software package's option to burn as an
iso image file; do not burn the file as a "data file".

b. Reboot the HMC with the DVD in the drive.

(1) Insert the DVD

(2) Push and hold the power button until the HMC powers off.

(3) Power back on by pushing and releasing the power button.

(4) During the reboot (just after "Starting HAL daemon done"), the HMC
will install the fix.

(5) Remove the DVD from the HMC's DVD drive. DO NOT leave the DVD in the
drive, as it will be processed again on subsequent HMC reboot.

For further information on applying the fix, including examples of using
updhmc command, see IBM support document N1019887 at
