Re: Upgrading HMC from V7R7.4.0SP2 to V7R760SPsomething

[Roberto José Etcheverry Romero <yggdrasil.raiker@xxxxxxxxx>]

i've just updated a CR5 from v7r7.3 to v7r7.7.0.2 in one step (bah, 1
upgrade step, 2 service pack and 3 efixes)
Documentation helps. I also updated a 750 from 710_43 to 730_122 and had to
check for a specific ptf (i've learned to RTFM), luckily it was
installed... to make it short, yes you can.
Best Regards
