In this example, it is assumed that connectivity exists to the 2965 that is being upgraded over the HMC local area network to write an IOCDS. 

If the server that is being upgraded is not accessible from the HMC LAN, create a IOCP file from HCD. Then, use the stand-alone IOCP process to update the IOCDS. 

You can create an IOCP file by using the same process that you used to create an IOCP file for the CMT. 

Tip:  The Support Element can now read an IOCP file that was written to a USB flash memory drive.
