IBM Redbooks
The IBM Hardware Management Console provides systems administrators a tool for planning, deploying, and managing IBM System p and IBM System i servers. This IBM Redbooks publication is designed for system administrators to use as a desk-side reference when managing partition-capable System i and System p servers using the HMC.
The major functions that the HMC provides are server hardware management and virtualization (partition) management.
In this book, we discuss how to:
- Configure the HMC
- Manage software levels on the HMC
- Use service functions on the HMC
- Update firmware of managed systems
- Move profiles from System i servers that previously did not connect to a HMC
- Use System Planning Tool deployments
In addition, we explain how to use the new HMC graphical user interface and the new HMC commands that are available with the HMC software Version 7, Release 3.
