UNIX AIX

Hey

Some questions..

  1. can we install hmc fixes/patches from nfs mount?

  2. Lets say my hmc crashed are these the steps for recovery?

    • install the base hmc software (product cd)
    • install the updates/patches/corrective service
    • restore the critical console date

am i missing something?

Got a question

"Insert the HMC product media into DVD-RAM drive" - Which is this DVD? is this shipped with the HMC or something we have to download seperately from IBM site?

Should be your base install CD/DVD for HMC that was shipped with it.

An HMC s/w CD which ships with HMC h/w and it has label as HMC recovery DVD. Even you can download it's ISO image from IBM website.
