Check system readiness

Use this task to confirm that the managed system is in the correct state to perform a Licensed Internal Code update or upgrade successfully.

Before updating or upgrading Licensed internal code, all managed systems to be updated must be in Operating, Standby, Power Off, or Recovery state. All flexible service processors (FSP) for the managed system must be correctly connected to the HMC. Any problems found during the check will be reported to you to correct before updating LIC. A readiness check will automatically be performed before any update or upgrade begins.
