Yes, the hmc can be used to upgrade the firmware on both managed systems. How you perform the upgrade depends on what level of firmware you want. IBM documents how to perform the upgrade as well as prerequisite information such as what level the HMC must be before upgrading a managed system...

If it's a JS20 blade, the NIM server and client may need to be on the same network. There's some extra configuration work required. Check out the following page for more details...

Did you try a DLPAR operation to dynamically give the partition the new memory? If DLPAR is not an option, and you just changed the profile to increase the memory, then you need the deactivate and then reactivate the partition to pick up the changes. A reboot will not suffice. However, I am...

I've got p570s at much older levels than SF235 on which I performed these steps successfully. It will work unless the frames in question are 575, 590, or 595s. Those frames require power cycles because they contain internal hubs.

NIM allows you to define another NIM network object in case the client and server reside on different networks. You can then associate the client with that network. You may need to do this. If new to NIM, check out the man page for the nimdef command which will allow you to preview and then...

Hi, What type of connection exists between the HMC and the 570? direct? VLAN? Hub? Are there multiple frames being managed by the HMC? Is the HMC configured as a private DHCP server on eth0? If the 570 is the only frame connected to the p5 HMC and the HMC is a private DHCP server, you can...
