Retrieving internal code changes

Retrieve internal code changes to copy them from their source to the Hardware Management Console.

Important:

Instructions for retrieving internal code changes will vary with their source and the set of changes you want to retrieve. Each example below provides instructions for a particular situation. Your situation may be different; refer to the instructions for general guidance. Then, while performing the task, request help for any window while it displays for more information about using it to complete the task.

Example 1

The following example shows the steps for:

• Using an DVD cartridge as the source of internal code changes.
• Retrieving all internal code changes available from that source.

From the Hardware Management Console Workplace:
1. Start the task Change Console Internal Code.

   This opens the Change Internal Code window. From the Change Internal Code window:

2. Select Retrieve internal code changes, then select OK.

   This opens the Retrieve Internal Code Changes window. From the Retrieve Internal Code Changes window:

3. Select Retrieve code changes from DVD cartridge, then select OK.

   This opens the Insert DVD Cartridge window. From the Insert DVD Cartridge window:

4. Insert a System Update Level (SUL) DVD cartridge into the DVD drive of the console, then select OK.

   This opens the Select Internal Code Changes window. From the Select Internal Code Changes window:

5. Select All internal code changes, then select OK.

   This opens the Confirm the Action window. From the Confirm the Action window:

6. Select Retrieve to begin the process.

   This opens the Change Internal Code Progress window. From the Change Internal Code Progress window:

7. Wait until the window indicates the process is complete, then select OK to close the window.

   This completes the task.

Example 2

The following example shows the steps for:

• Using the IBM support system as the source of internal code changes.
• Retrieving one specific internal code change from that source.

From the Hardware Management Console Workplace:
1. Start the task Change Console Internal Code.

   This opens the Change Internal Code window. From the Change Internal Code window:

2. Select Retrieve internal code changes, then select OK.

   This opens the Retrieve Internal Code Changes window. From the Retrieve Internal Code Changes window:

3. Select Retrieve code changes from IBM support system, then select OK.

   This opens the Select Internal Code Changes window. From the Select Internal Code Changes window:

4. Select Specific internal code changes, then select OK.

   This opens the Specify Internal Code Changes window. From the Specify Internal Code Changes window:

5. If necessary, contact your IBM service representative or your IBM Support Center to determine the engineering change (EC) number and change level of the internal code change you want to retrieve.
6. Type the engineering change (EC) number in the first Engineering change field.
7. Type the change level in the adjacent Change level field.
8. Select OK.

   This opens the Confirm the Action window. From the Confirm the Action window:

9. Select Retrieve to queue a request for establishing a remote connection to the IBM support system.
10. Wait until a message indicates the request was queued, then select OK to close the message.

    This completes the task.

    Note:

    The internal code change will be retrieved when the queued request is processed, and a remote connection to the IBM support system is established. Processing the request depends on the availability of the telephone line for the console modem, and on the priority of other requests in the queue.
