  • 1.  Automating Update Access Keys from HMC?

    Posted Fri July 21, 2017 01:41 PM

    P8 Firmware Update Access Keys needs to be applied every 180 days after initial warranty period expires, this can be a pain when you have 50 - 100 P8 servers in your environment. Is there any way to obtain and apply the "update keys" automatically via the HMC?

    Hi,

    Yes, there is an useful FAQ there: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3T1020902

    UAK started with POWER8.
