About This Section

The HMC may connect to the systems it manages in different ways.

  • An HMC can connect via a private service network using a DHCP server on the HMC to connect to the managed systems.
  • An HMC can use an existing open network to connect to the managed systems

To set up the initial connection to your POWER6 system, the HMC includes a Guided Setup Wizard to guide you through the configuration steps. Using the Guided Setup Wizard you will setup network connections, create initial users, set the date and time for your area, and set up connections from your managed systems to your service provider. Via these connections, you and your service provider can be automatically notified if system problems occur.

In this section we will cover:

7.1 Installing Software without the Setup Wizard

7.2 Installing Software Using the Guided Setup Wizard

7.3 Customizing the HMC

7.4 Managing System Users, Tasks, and Roles

7.5 Support Tools
