 Updating the HMC from [[2013:05:01:hmc_update_to_7.7.7.0_sp1|v7.7.7.0 SP1]] to v7.7.7.0 SP2 was once again and like the previous [[2013:02:10:hmc_update_to_7.7.6.0_sp1|]] very painless. The service pack [[http://www-933.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/firmware/readme?fixid=MH01354|MH01354]] was easily installable from the ISO images via the HMC GUI. The previous restriction of having to disconnect one of the HMCs in a redundant setup seems to have been dropped, at least it wasn't mentioned in the release notes anymore. The readme of the eFixes ([[http://delivery04.dhe.ibm.com/sar/CMA/HMA/03uh2/1/MH01367.readme.html|MH01367]] and [[http://delivery04.dhe.ibm.com/sar/CMA/HMA/03y4p/2/MH01373.readme.html|MH01373]]) to be installed on top of the service pack was this time very clear on MH01373 superseding MH01367. Updating the HMC from [[2013:05:01:hmc_update_to_7.7.7.0_sp1|v7.7.7.0 SP1]] to v7.7.7.0 SP2 was once again and like the previous [[2013:02:10:hmc_update_to_7.7.6.0_sp1|]] very painless.
