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)

Has anyone done HMC patch installation remotely? I would love to know if that would be possible. I have been doing through CD/DVD but hate to do the additional work of finding someone in the DC and sending him the CD's.

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.

SYNOPSIS
firmwarepasswd [-setpasswd] [-setmode mode] [-mode] [-check] [-delete] [-verify] [-unlockseed] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
The firmwarepasswd command is used to add or remove firmware passwords from a system as well as check status and other options. The
firmwarepasswd command requires root privileges to run.
A list of flags and their descriptions:
-setpasswd
Prompts to add a new firmware password or change and existing password if one exists.
-setmode mode
Set the mode to "command" or "full". "Command" will prompt for the firmware password if the user attempts to boot from a different
volume. "Full" will prompt on every startup (not recommended).
-mode Displays the current mode if one is set.
-check Displays whether or not a firmware password is set.
-delete
Prompts for password and clears both password and the mode if correct.
-verify
Prompts for password and displays success if correct.
-unlockseed
Generates a firmware password recovery key. Note: Machine must be stable for this command to generate a valid seed. No pending
changes that need a restart. NOTE: Seed is only valid until the next time a firmware password command runs.
-h Displays a list of all the commands available in the firmwarepasswd tool, with explanatory information.
