Minimum required levels of HMC and system firmware

If you are using CMC to manage systems, then before starting the Cloud Connector in the HMC, it is required to update the firmware level of the systems managed by the HMC to the levels mentioned below.

Update to: 

• FW860.60 or later for systems which have 860.x level firmware
• FW910.20 or later for systems which have 910.x level firmware
