On the HMC, run the following command to save the upgrade data to disk:
#Ibm ftp disk 7.77.38 how to
If necessary to enable the remote SSH access, log in with a web browser to the GUI of the HMC at and change the remote access setting through the GUI (we'll not cover how to do this in this procedure though). Last login: Wed Jan 17 22:24:49 this to work, you obviously need to know the password for the hscroot account on the HMC, and you need to have remote SSH access enabled on the HMC. Then, log in to the command line of the HMC: Now that you have downloaded all the required files, for example in folder /HMC on the AIX system, make sure that the files can be read by everyone: Or, if you have wget installed on the AIX system, the following command can be used to get the individual files, for example: Name (:root): anonymousģ31 Anonymous login ok, send your complete email address as your passwordĢ30 Anonymous access granted, restrictions applyįtp> cd software/server/hmc/network/v8870/x86/ġ50 Opening BINARY mode data connection for img3a (34015945 bytes)ĭownloading these files may take a while as they are several gigabytes in size. For example:Ĭonnected to dispsd-40-220 ProFTPD 1.3.5b Server (proftpd) You can use FTP to download the files, by logging in anonymously to the IBM FTP server and using any password (it says to specify your complete email address, but in fact anything you type will be fine). You may download these files directly from to the AIX system. Download files img2a, img3a, base.img, disk1.img and hmcnetworkfiles.sum into a folder on the separate AIX system. So, let's first perform the upgrade to version V8 R8.7.0. Also, let's assume the root password on the AIX system has been set to Note that this, of course, is not a good root password. This is possible, as long as you have SSH connectivity correctly set up on the AIX system. We'll put the HMC software upgrade/update files on that system, and then tell the HMC to fetch the software from that AIX system using SFTP. The separate AIX system will be used as a network source for the installation software.
#Ibm ftp disk 7.77.38 update
Next, update to service pack 1 of V8 R8.7.0įor the sake of this procedure, let's assume that you have the following two systems available to you (and assume these 2 systems can ping each other):.First, upgrade to version V8 R8.7.0 (also known as MH01704).The following procedure describes how to perform a command-line based upgrade of the Hardware Management Console (HMC) from version V8 R8.6.0 SP1 to V8 R8.7.0 SP1.
