The Updates work pane displays the Hardware Management Console (HMC) code level, system code levels, and the ability to install corrective service by clicking Update HMC.

To display the tasks:

  1. Select the Updates node in the navigation pane.
  2. Select a managed object to apply updates on.
  3. From the tasks pad, click on the task you want to perform.
  4. The tasks pad provides the following tasks required to install corrective service:

    Change Licensed Internal Code for the current release
    Upgrade Licensed Internal Code to a new release
    Flash Side Selection
    Check System Readiness
    View System Information

See the following figure for an example of the Updates work pane and tasks pad. The Updates tasks can also be displayed under the Updates task group when you are working with managed objects from the Systems Management node of the navigation pane.
