Hi,
IBM guys can comment better &confirm, but I would believe that the same approach should be totally doable.
My personal experience on vHMCs has been that if you don't have very complex setup (tens of users, frames, scheduled jobs etc)..it is quite fast & straightforward to just scratch the existing vHMC and do fresh new install on the new major level; install needed iFixes & then after that restore configs via HMC CLI with pre-modified hmc commands; that is how I have done those so far without any issues..
Br,

Subject: How to upgrade vHMC from V8R870 to V9R1
I am looking for information about how to upgrade a vHMC running on VMWare from V8R870 to V9R1. I have found information about how to upgrade from V9R1 to V9R2M950, but nothing about upgrading from V8R870 to V9R1: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6372280
Can I use the same upgrade process for V9R1?
