Then after 2 minutes we are getting error as below ...

View the HMC log for details. The corrective service package did not properly authenticate.

The package may be invalid. Obtain a new copy of the corrective service package and try the operation again.

sha256sum _ size is perfectly as same as website given.

able to do  loopmount .iso file on NIM server (where iso is saved) for testing.and date on HMC looks fine.

Any lead ?

Hi everybody,

I'have exactly the same issue, i want to update firmware of a P8, but before that i want to update the HMC in V8R8.5.0 and update to a V8R86.0. I try from ftp with  ISO and from ftp with network image, error seems to be the same because in both configuration the error give a corrupted file ! 

No problem to update to SP2...

I create a VM with V8R8.5.0 and try to upgrade to V8R8.6.0 same issue.

I think the best is to start from scratch.

A work around please ?

Thanks !

I'm with the same problem. I've already opened a ticket on IBM support. After realizing what can be happening I will say to you. If somebody has already discovered, please share with us.

Has anyone figured out what is going on with this?  I also am having this issue with an older HMC that hasn't been updated in a while.  Trying to update to 8.2 using the ISO from IBM thru the webGui; the hash matches what is in the readme, so I know this isn't a corrupted image.  Time is also correct on the console.  I'm trying to get our 2x HMCs updated to newer versions as we're using them more.  The first one I brought from 8.2 to 8.6 SP2 in order to apply the Spectre and Meltdown firmware.  I had no issues with that one.  The one causing issues is on 8.1.  Thanks.

I am also running into the same issue going from 8.6.0 to 8.6.1. I have tried rebooting the HMC and attempting the SFTP update again. I'm afraid I may have to go into the Data Center and do this on site if this doesn't work.

Same issue after the reboot. Has anyone had any success with a PMR with IBM?

I figured out the problem. I don't know if you guys have the same issue, but it's important to validate. Please share with me if you went through the same.

My HMC is a 7042CR6, and checking this IBM website (https://www-304.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/power5cm/supportedcodeHMCHW.html), this Model supports at maximum V8.860. I updated from V8.850 to V8.860, and SP3 after that, with no problem. Well, to get the firmware of a managed system I wanted I need at least 8.860 SP3, then I will stay in this version for a while. I am planning to install a virtual HMC to replace that one.
