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 an Hardware Management Console (HMC),
refer to Managed system updates in
