Hello,
I have always many questions how to perform properly HMC update. Usually, fixcentral shows many updates and fixes and don't know how to get the path in steps 1by1 from current version to desired new one.
Example: Current version I have is V8R8.1.0.1 with MH01474
Now, when I want to update my HMC to V8R8.2.0M1 I see so many fixes on fixcentral related to this version.
Which is the right path for doing the update? Should I first apply some extra fixes supproting update from 8.1 to 8.2?
Or maybe I can run update with the recovery iso (I guess it is for both update and/or recovery tasks) and then update with update iso V8R820 SP1?
Here is list of files fixcentral generates for V8R820*:
HMC_Recovery_V8R820_1.iso
HMC_Update_V8R820_SP1.iso

Is there any update path document saying which fix should be applied before which one, which is mandatory and which not for successfull update to desired level?
