Getting firmware fixes
Learn how to obtain and apply firmware fixes.
Server firmware is the licensed machine code that resides in system
flash memory. Server firmware includes a number of subcomponents,
including POWER Hypervisor™ power
control, service processor, and logical partition firmware that is
loaded into either AIX®, IBM® i, or Linux logical partitions.
When you install a server firmware fix, it is installed on the temporary
side of the service processor.
Note: For information on getting fixes
when your system is managed by a management console, see Managed system
updates in Updates.
