One of my server is Non-LPAR system and i would like to do ML upgrade on that system.
When i tried with lsmcode, it gave me two output

Platform Firmware level is 3F030829
System Firmware level is RG030815_d61e10_sfw133

If so which Firmware level do i need to upgrade before ML update?

Steps to do ML upgrade on Standalone:
=============================
1)Check the current Firmware and Download the suitable firmware from fix central
2)Update the Microcode by /usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/update_flash –f /tmp/fwupdate/01SF240_338.rpm
3)Reboot the system
4)Download the suitable ML
5)Check for the pre-requistes
6)Run inutoc . and then install the ML by update_all command
7)Reboot the system

Is there any addition steps needs to followed on doing ML upgrade on system that are connecting to LPAR?

Thanks

Hi,
Can you tell us what sort of machine you have and what level of AIX?
I suspect this is a very old machine and the update process could be different.

If you try Fix Central and poke around it will tell you the latest available for your machine type.
Of course, my machines are not very old!

Thanks Nigel

If you still want to be on the save side download your latest microcode here http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/firmware/gjsn (look up your machine type with "lsconf | head" command).
