The upgrade of HMC software using altdiskboot
Download the networkupgrade files
ftp ftp> open ftp.software.ibm.com Name: anonymous Password: ftp ftp> cd software/server/hmc/network/v7720 ftp> prompt (turns off interacive mode) ftp> bin (ensures binary transfer mode) ftp> mget * (downloads all six files simultaneously) ftp> bye (exits FTP after all files have been downloaded)”
>saveupgdata -r disk
>getupgfiles -h ftp.software.ibm.com -u anonymous --passwd ftp -d /software/server/hmc/network/v7720
while true ; do date ls -la /hmcdump sleep 60 done
Once the download completes, the /hmcdump filesystem gets unmounted. That tells you that the download is finished.
"The getupgfiles operation will mount a filesystem called /hmcdump and copy the install files into the directory then unmount the filesystem. The following commands will set the HMC to boot from the network install images and allow the upgrade to proceed."
Once the download is complete:
>chhmc -c altdiskboot -s enable --mode upgrade >hmcshutdown -r -t now
And now we wait. This can take 20-50 minutes.
