Hey, for what it's worth - I installed the HMP, and long story short, it didn't do me any good. (But it was definitely progress in the right direction, thank you for suggesting it!) I've been failing and failing, and finally somebody in the support community forum put me onto this. This is a scripted way to do the job the HMP does. But it's much faster, and I have a certain preference for using the cmd-line utility instead of the web interface. But most importantly, IT WORKS! :-) So I think this is preferable over the HMP... When you login to MOS, there's a search field in the upper right, "Search Knowledge Base." Paste 6981695 into that field, and only one document came up. Skip down to the bottom, click the "Instructions for Workaround" There was no initial setup required on my system, because it's a standard system (X4270 without HBA) and one of the included config files was already correct for my system. So I'm using that now, and it works perfectly.
