Retrieving internal code changes

Retrieve internal code changes to copy them from their source to the selected objects.
Important: Instructions for retrieving internal code changes will vary with their source and the set of changes you want to retrieve. Each example below provides instructions for a particular situation. Your situation may be different; refer to the instructions for general guidance. Then, while performing the task, request help for any window while it displays for more information about using it to complete the task.

Example 1

The following example shows the steps for:

From the Hardware Management Console Workplace:

  1. Start the task: Retrieve Internal Code.

    This opens the Retrieve Internal Code Changes window. From the Retrieve Internal Code Changes selection window:

  2. Click either Selected CPCs or All CPCs.

    This opens the Retrieve Internal Code Changes window. From the Retrieve Internal Code Changes window:

  3. Select Retrieve code changes from removable media to the selected objects, then click OK.

    This opens the Insert Removable Media window. From the Insert Removable Media window:

  4. Insert a System Update Level (SUL) DVD-RAM into the DVD drive of the console, then click OK.

    This opens the Select Media Device window. From the Select Media Device window:

  5. Select the device you are going to be retrieving changes to, then click OK.

    This opens the Select Internal Code Changes window. From the Select Internal Code Changes window:

  6. Select All internal code changes, then click OK.

    This opens the Confirm the Action window. From the Confirm the Action window:

  7. Select Retrieve to begin the process.

    This opens the Retrieve Internal Code Progress window. From the Retrieve Internal Code Progress window:

  8. Wait until the Status field of the table indicates the request has completed, then click OK to close the window.

    This completes the task.

Example 2

The following example shows the steps for:
