[gurevichmark]

The latest version 9 of HMC is missing csmlicutil used by xCAT rflash command in perl-xCAT/xCAT/PPCrflash.pm

hscroot@c910hmc03:~> which csmlicutil
which: no csmlicutil in (/hmcrbin/:/usr/hmcrbin)

Because of this the rflash fails:

Hi, @gurevichmark , pls see my comment https://github.ibm.com/vhu/c910env/issues/734#issuecomment-11610197

Looking at the cmslicutil on hmc02 it looks like it take a stanza file and performs actions specified there.

So from xCAT when running rflash to HMC controlled server, we copy .rpm and .xml files to /tmp on HMC. We then create a stanza file and copy it to /tmp on HMC also. Finally we run cmslicutil <stanza_file> command to perform the update.

The contents of the stanza file are as:

hscroot@c910hmc03:~> cat /tmp/LxWJvIp4Gz
updlic::8247-22L*10112CA::upgrade::::/tmp/01TV860_039_039.rpm
hscroot@c910hmc03:~>

or

hscroot@c910hmc03:~> cat /tmp/DOZvidLWHj
updlic::8375-42A*13C650W::activate::system::/tmp/01VL910_115_089.rpm
