As far as I know the customer is not allowed to make any changes to the
software of an HMC. There is an upgrade process from the IBM support
which does it. I had one customer who has bought a used z800 with an
OS/2 HMC. During the refresh of the patches the IBM technician also
reinstalled the HMC with version 2.9.2 and linux. If you need the new
HMC version ask your hardware support for upgrade. If you get a new
machine, you will automatically get a new HMC hardware with current
software.
kind regards

I am currently running a z/890 A04 130 running z/VM 5.3 HMC Version
Code 1.8.2 with z890 / Driver level 55 and my SE level is 233. My
question is I need to upgrade my HMC to Version Code 2.9.2 which would
require perhaps a new HMC running Linux as opposed to the current OS/2
based HMC or could the current OS/2 system be formatted and a version
of Linux be installed on that HMC with the proper feature codes both
for the HMC and the SEs. Does anybody know where there’s an available
HMC Version Code 2.9.2…..
