Flexible Service Processor (FSP) Configuration

Communication from the HMC to a POWER6 system is done through the Flexible Service Processor (FSP).

The picture at top left is a rear view of a model 9117-MMA server. The HMC is connected to a dedicated port on the service processor of the server via an Ethernet connection.

Follow the installation instruction for your POWER6 server. Once the HMC has been cabled and connected to the managed system, follow the instructions in topic HMC Configuration to install and configure the HMC software. Do not yet connect the managed system to a power source.

After the HMC has been installed and configured, connect the managed system to a power source. The HMC will automatically 'discover' the managed system and it will appear both in the Navigation Pane and the Work Pane of the HMC's Web interface.

To start the managed system, see the topic Powering On/Off a Managed System.

To add an additional managed system, see the topic Adding a Managed System.
