Target Version:
The version of HMC to upgrade to.
Upgrading From:
The versions of HMC that can directly upgrade to the target release in one step. Versions older then those listed require a multi-step upgrade.
Upgrade Instructions:
Link to the instructions on how to obtain the upgrade images and perform the upgrade.
Updates:
Link to the instructions on how to obtain and install fixes for the current release.
Date Available:
Approximate date the version/release was first made generally available for use.
End of Service:
The date that fix support ends for the target release.
Models supported:
List of HMC models that support the target release. Entries in bold indicate a change in support; the first release to support a new model or the last release to support a model whose support has ended. Machine type 7315 supported ended in 6.1.3. Model 7042-OE1 requires minimum of V8.8.3.0.1; 7042-OE2 requires a minimum of V8.8.6.0. For further information on HMC hardware support, see http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/power5cm/supportedcodeHMCHW.html
Power Support:
Indicates the family of IBM POWER servers this HMC can manage: P9 is POWER9; P8 is POWER 8; P7 POWER7, P6 POWER6 and P5 POWER5. Specific server model/types, hardware feature codes or firmware features included in that family may place additional constraints on the minimum HMC release or service pack required.
