DESCRIPTION
       You can use the hotfix component to install a hotfix onto a volume, view information about available hotfixes, or delete
       unwanted hotfixes.

       Use the create-volume option with the hotfix component to create new volumes.

       Note: You use the slot_id option only for chassis systems and only when displaying the values for the options of a specific
       hotfix. You do not use the slot_id option when installing or deleting a hotfix, because these commands operate on all
       blades or the entire system.
