reboot and ready. But if you've read the whole output, you seen that I've used lpp_source for the update. I don't have EMC ODM filesets in the lpp_source, but it is not so difficult to do. If they were there, they were updated together with the base OS.
something like:
Code:
nim# nim -o update -a source=/directory/where/new/EMC/ODM/resides -a packages=all lpp_71_03_05
then you don't even need to update them manually and to reboot the server again.

We're doing a FC switch cutover on an ibm device, connected via SAN.
