Installing
Corrective Service
This task allows you to update the level of code on the HMC. Corrective
fixes are
available through ftp and CD-ROM.
Note: Because the HMC is a closed system, you cannot load additional
applications on
your Hardware Management Console. All the tasks you need to maintain
the
managed system, the underlying operating system, and the HMC application
code are available by using the HMC’s management applications.
