Ensuring you have the correct HMC CD/DVDs to rebuild the secondary management console hard drive
Procedure
The secondary HMC being installed must have
the same LIC
bundle VRMF as
the existing primary HMC before it can be connected to the private
network.
Note: Observe the differences in the following
two scenarios:
For some LIC
bundles,
HMC code packages can be directly installed using recovery CDs or
recovery DVD plus CDs.
For other LIC
bundles,
HMC code packages must be updated using CDA. In this case, HMC code
packages of an older level are first installed using recovery CDs
or recovery DVD plus CDs.
Use Table 1 to
determine the LIC
bundle VRMF for
the CD/DVDs you will need on site to rebuild the external management
console hard drive.
Table 1. Determine
the VRMF to order
If the LIC
bundle VRMF of
the existing management console (MC

Action:
6.2.xxx.xx, or 62.xxx.xxx.xxx, or
later
The DVDs should be in the existing
HMC Recovery Kit. The recovery kit is shipped by manufacturing with
new machine installation.
