Updates provides a way for you to access information on both HMC and system firmware code levels at the same time without running a task. 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:
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.
