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.
