IBM "Idea" -- (HMC) upgvios command alignment with (VIOS) viosupgrade command

  • 1.  IBM "Idea" -- (HMC) upgvios command alignment with (VIOS) viosupgrade command

    Posted Tue September 30, 2025 04:48 AM

    As all (Ansible) development work has now stopped on the ibm.power_vios collection it would be very helpful to align the capabilities / command line flags of the (HMC command) "upgvios" with those of the (VIOS command) "viosupgrade".

    In doing so, the (IBM) Ansible team along with the TechXhange community could then leverage the aligned code to further improve the capabilities of the ibm.power_hmc collection.

    If you have a moment, please nip over to IBM Ideas  and review/vote.

    Many thanks, Steve
