A) powervc-opsmgr apply-ifix --ifix -c --hosts Example : powervc-opsmgr apply-ifix --ifix /root/IT43868-2.1.1.tgz -c rhel8ppcle --hosts B) Repeat Step A for all the other nodes If iFix installation fails for the host, the same command can be re-run. Note: can be obtained by running "powervc-opsmgr inventory -l" 4) Check whether the iFix has been successfully applied on all nodes by running the below command. powervc-opsmgr apply-ifix -l -c 5) Below rpms would be installed as part of the iFix.
