    Hi,

    I want to update managed system firmware using HMC.
    The easiest way to me is to download firmware directly to HMC hard disk. Question:
    Where shoud I put downloaded firmware in HMC hard disk ? - selection says "Hard disk" - no path no anything.

    thanks

    But, yes. you will have that option as Hard Drive while choosing the source of the firmware file on upgrade / update menu.

    I would suggest you to download the firmware package to NFS server and FTP option to upgrade / update the firmware.
    Kannan.
