Applying updates from a local hard disk
To apply the updates from a directory on your local hard disk, follow one of these two procedures, depending on your currently installed level of VIOS.
A. If the current level of the VIOS is earlier than V1.2.0.0 (V1.0 or V1.1):
NOTE:
If you are updating from VIOS level 1.1, you must update to the 10.1 level of the Fix Pack before updating to the 11.1 level of Fix Pack. In other words, if you are at level 1.1, updating to the 11.1 Fix Pack is a two-step process: First, update to version 10.1 Fix Pack, and then update to the 11.1 Fix Pack.
Contact your IBM Service Representative to obtain the VIOS 10.1 Fix Pack.
After you install the 10.1 Fix Pack, follow these steps to install the 11.1 Fix Pack.
Login to the VIOS as the user padmin.
Create a directory on the Virtual I/O Server.
$ mkdir
Using ftp, transfer the update file(s) to the directory you created.
Apply the update by running the updateios command
$ updateios -accept -dev
Verify that update was successful by checking results of the updateios command and running the ioslevel command. It should indicate the ioslevel is now V1.5.2.1-FP-11.1.
$ ioslevel
B. If the current level of the VIOS is V1.2 through V1.5:
Login to the VIOS as the user padmin.
Create a directory on the Virtual I/O Server.
$ mkdir
Using ftp, transfer the update file(s) to the directory you created.
Apply the update by running the updateios command
$ updateios -accept -install -dev
Verify that update was successful by checking results of the updateios command and running the ioslevel command. It should indicate the ioslevel is now V1.5.2.1-FP-11.1.
$ ioslevel
NOTE:- If you are updating from an ioslevel prior to 1.3.0.1, the updateios command may indicate several failures (i.e. missing requisites) during fix pack installation. These messages are expected. Proceed with the update if you are prompted to "Continue with the installation [y/n]".
Applying updates from a remotely mounted file system
If the remote file system is to be mounted read-only, follow one of these two procedures, depending on your currently installed level of VIOS.
A. If the current level of the VIOS is earlier than V1.2.0.0 (V1.0 or V1.1):
NOTE:
If you are updating from VIOS level 1.1, you must update to the 10.1 level of the Fix Pack before updating to the 11.1 level of Fix Pack. In other words, if you are at level 1.1, updating to the 11.1 Fix Pack is a two-step process: First, update to version 10.1 Fix Pack, and then update to the 11.1 Fix Pack.
Contact your IBM Service Representative to obtain the VIOS 10.1 Fix Pack.
After you install the 10.1 Fix Pack, follow these steps to install the 11.1 Fix Pack.
Login to the VIOS as the user padmin.
Mount the remote directory onto the Virtual I/O Server.
$ mount remote_machine_name:directory /mnt
Apply the update by running the updateios command.
$ updateios -accept -dev /mnt
Verify that update was successful by checking results of the updateios command and running the ioslevel command. It should indicate the ioslevel is now V1.5.2.1-FP-11.1.
$ ioslevel
B. If the current level of the VIOS is V1.2 through V1.5:
Login to the VIOS as the user padmin.
Mount the remote directory onto the Virtual I/O Server.
$ mount remote_machine_name:directory /mnt
Apply the update by running the updateios command
$ updateios -accept -install -dev /mnt
Verify that update was successful by checking results of the updateios command and running the ioslevel command. It should indicate the ioslevel is now V1.5.2.1-FP-11.1.
$ ioslevel

Applying updates from the CD/DVD driveThis fix pack can be burned onto a CD by using the ISO image file(s). After the CD has been created, follow one of these two procedures, depending on your currently installed level of VIOS.
A. If the current level of the VIOS is earlier than V1.2.0.0 (V1.0 or V1.1):
NOTE:
If you are updating from VIOS level 1.1, you must update to the 10.1 level of the Fix Pack before updating to the 11.1 level of Fix Pack.

After you install the 10.1 Fix Pack, follow these steps to install the 11.1 Fix Pack.
Login to the VIOS as the user padmin.
Place the CD-ROM into the drive assigned to VIOS.
Apply the update by running the updateios command
$ updateios -accept -dev /dev/cdX
where X is the device number 0-N assigned to VIOS
Verify that update was successful by checking results of the updateios command and running the ioslevel command. It should indicate the ioslevel is now V1.5.2.1-FP-11.1.
$ ioslevel
B. If the current level of the VIOS is V1.2 through V1.5:
Login to the VIOS as the user padmin
Place the CD-ROM into the drive assigned to VIOS
