Yes you have to upgrade the HMC(s) before doing the managed system's firmware upgrade.
Once one HMC is upgraded you should be able to do the firmware update but why wouldn't you want to upgrade the 2nd HMC? Going to V7R3.4 SP2 isn't very difficult if I remember correctly.

Is there an easy (and safe) way to upgrade RedHat versions remotely? I know the difference between 7.2 and 7.3 is just a bunch of newer .rpm file versions. Or is there more? Do I have to boot the CD and choose upgrade? What if I'm 100 miles from the server and would like to avoid traveling there?... (1 Reply)

On my never ending quest to get rid of table tags and make the site responsive for all device sizes, I plan to use CSS Flexbox with jQuery.

Built-in iSight firmware extractor and patcher
ift-extract extract the Built-in iSight firmware from Apple driver and patch it to avoid some bugs in it. The firmware is then ready to get
loaded into the chip using ift-load.
* Menu:
Finding the Apple driver: see "Driver"
Command line options: see "Options"
See also "Copying"
1 Finding the Apple driver
ift-extract extract Built-in iSight firmware from Apple iSight driver. This driver is located at
/System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBVideoSupport.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleUSBVideoSupport on your Mac OS X
root partition.
There is several version of this driver depending on driver version or host architecture (PowerPC or x86). Thus, ift-extract must determine
know the variant of the driver in order to properly extract the firmware.
Any AppleUSBVideoSupport file starting with those shipped with iMac G5 iSight must work. If not, please report unknown AppleUSBVideoSupport
at bugreport mail address with machine type and OS X version.
2 Command line options
`-a' `--apple-driver' Apple driver filename where to extract the firmware.
`-d' `--output-directory' The directory where to output the firmware. Defaults to /lib/firmware.
`-f' `--output-filename' The output firmware name. Defaults to isight.fw
`-?' `--help' Shows option help and quit.
Since ift-extract defaults to output the firmware to /lib/firmware/isight.fw, ensure you have the right to do so.
