To install an update to the Virtual I/O Server, you can obtain
the update either from a CD that contains the update or download the
update.
To update the Virtual I/O Server, follow these
steps:
- Make a backup of the Virtual I/O Server by following
the steps in Backing up
the Virtual I/O Server.
- Download the required updates from the Fix Central website. Alternatively, you can
get the updates from the update CD.
- Install the update using the updateios command.
For example, if your update file set is located in the /home/padmin/update directory,
type the following:
updateios -install -accept -dev /home/padmin/update
Notes: - The updateios command installs all updates
located in the specified directory.
- The Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) Version 2.2.0.11,
Fix Pack 24, Service Pack 1, or later, does not support the -reject option
of the updateios command.
- To perform Live Partition Mobility after
you install an update to the VIOS, ensure that you restart
the Hardware Management Console (HMC).
