VIOS update

First step , as usual , is to commit every applied updates, but since on these vios we installed an efix,
we have to remove it first:

vios142:padmin # updateios -commit

ID  STATE LABEL      INSTALL TIME      UPDATED BY ABSTRACT

vios142:root #  /usr/sbin/emgr -r -L'IZ91190s31'  '-X'

ATTENTION: system reboot is required. Please see the "Reboot Processing"
sections in the output above or in the /var/adm/ras/emgr.log file.

Return Status = SUCCESS

Now we can retry the commit :

vios142:padmin # updateios -commit 
There are no uncommitted updates.


Now we can start , i placed the FP on a nfs share , so i mounted that share on the vio on /home/padmin/viosfp

updateios -install -accept -dev viosfp/VIO/VIOS_2.2.2.2-FP26_SP01/


At the end of the process , we will dropped at shell prompt with an advice that warns us to make a reboot as soon as possible

installp:  * * *  A T T E N T I O N ! ! ! 
        Software changes processed during this session require this system 
        and any of its diskless/dataless clients to be rebooted in order 
        for the changes to be made effective.


but before rebooting the following command has to be issued , to extend some user roles functionalities

$ swrole - PAdmin
