Cabling the server to the HMC
The Hardware Management Console (HMC) controls managed systems, including the management of
logical partitions, the creation of a virtual environment, and the use of capacity on demand. Using service
applications, the HMC can also communicate with managed systems to detect, consolidate, and forward
information to IBM service for analysis.
If you have not installed and configured your HMC, do so now. For instructions, see Installation and
configuration scenarios (http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/POWER8/p8hai/
basichmcinstallationandconfigurationtaskflow.htm).
To manage POWER8 processor-based servers, the HMC must be at version 8 release 8.6.0, or later. To
view the HMC version and release, complete the following steps:
1. In the navigation area, click Updates.
2. In the work area, view and record the information that appears in the HMC Code Level section,
including the HMC version, release, Service Pack, build level, and base versions.
If you need to update your HMC version and release, see Obtaining and applying machine code updates
for the HMC with an Internet connection (http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/POWER8/
p8hai/area3fixeshmc.htm).
To cable the server to the HMC, complete the following steps:
1. If you want to directly attach your HMC to the managed system, connect Ethernet Connector 1 on
the HMC to the HMC1 (T4) port on the managed system.
