You can use Fix Central to find the fixes that are recommended by IBM® Support for various products, including IBM Power® Virtualization Center. With Fix Central, you can search, select,
order, and download fixes for your system with a choice of delivery options. A PowerVC product fix might be available to
resolve your problem.
PowerVC requires certain packages to be
installed. Configure and enable the Red Hat Enterprise Linux "yum" repository on the host by using a
DVD mount or RHN. This allows PowerVC to
find and install the required packages during installation.

repository, see Configuring Yum and Yum
Repositories
