saveupgdata -r {disk | diskdvd | diskusb} [--help]

saveupgdata stores the current partition profile data, Hardware Management Console (HMC) user data, and HMC configuration data in a portion of the HMC hard drive that the HMC upgrade process cannot erase. The HMC automatically recovers the data after the upgrade process completes.

This command should be run immediately prior to performing an HMC upgrade. If the HMC is rebooted without performing an upgrade after running this command, this command needs to be run again.

-r	If disk is specified, upgrade data will only be saved on the HMC hard drive. If diskdvd is specified, then in addition to storing the upgrade data on the HMC hard drive, this command will copy the same upgrade data onto DVD-RAM media. If diskusb is specified, then in addition to storing the upgrade data on the HMC hard drive, this command will copy the same upgrade data onto a USB flash memory device.
--help	Display the help text for this command and exit.

Save upgrade data to the HMC hard drive:

saveupgdata -r disk

Save upgrade data to the HMC hard drive and to DVD-RAM media (the media must be present in the DVD drive):

saveupgdata -r diskdvd
