Re: Update firmware remotely??

[Rob Berendt <robertowenberendt@xxxxxxxxx>]

All my systems are remote and I do all the upgrades from here.  Firmware,
etc.

First, if this is a single LPAR system of IBM i then do the following:
DSPFMWSTS
if it says *OPSYS then the firmware upgrade happens when you put on cumes
and stuff.  It's that easy.
If it says *HMC then find it.  I access our HMCs (plural) remotely.  This
is how I put on firmware.
Good hunting.
