SMP 7.5 HF1 and HF2

[Migration User]

In December I saw that SMP HF1 was in my SIM console, but now when I check all I see is SMP HF2.  I did not install HF1.  Does HF2 contain HF1?  If not, how do I get HF1?

A new version of Symantec Installation Manager 7.5.126 is released over the previously-released Symantec Installation Manager 7.5.123.

Thanks I have the HF2 document and I have upgraded SIM to 7.5.126, I was wondering what happened to HF1 as it is no longer in my list of Hot Fixes and the document doesn't seem to indicate that HF2 contains HF1 or not.

Symantec Hotfixes and Services packs are always cumulative in my memory, it's only Pointfixes that are separate usually. It's weird that it doesn't say this for this release. Here's the release notes for HF1:

I confirmed with Symantec Support that HF1 is rolled up into HF2. 

Thanks andykn101

I've just been at a partner training event at Symantec and had it confirmed that HF2 is cumulative, it includes HF1. Some people, including Symantec staff, weren't sure and thought they might be separate fixes, particularly as the HF2 release notes make no mention of HF1.

Thanks Andy.  I actually was able to install just HF1.  I didn't see it listed in my HF, only HF2, but when I started the wizard to install HF2, HF1 was listed separately, so I had to option to install HF2 (which included HF1) or just install HF1.

Hotfix 3 has just been released and is cumulative according to the release notes this time:

"The ITMS 7.5 Hotfix 3 is a cumulative hotfix containing fixes of ITMS 7.5 HF1 and ITMS 7.5 HF2"
