Step 10. Verify the Hardware Management Console (HMC) Installation
Verify that the HMC is installed. If the HMC has not been installed, go to the IBM Hardware Management
Console for pSeries Installation and Operations Guide and follow the procedures for installing the HMC.
When you have completed installing the HMC, come back here.
Note: When connecting a new system to a previously installed HMC, you must verify that the firmware
level on the HMC is at the same release level as that on the newly installed system. If supplied, run
the HMC Recovery CD that was shipped with the system. Running the HMC Recovery CD updates
the firmware level on the HMC to that of the system.
Connect the HMC serial cable to serial port HMC1 on the primary I/O book. For two HMCs, connect the
redundant HMC into serial port HMC2 on the primary I/O book. The following illustration shows the
location of the serial ports on the rear of the HMC and the HMC connectors located on the primary I/O
book.
