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.
