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.
Before you begin
If you have not installed and configured your HMC, do so now. For instructions, see Installation and
configuration tasks (http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/POWER9/p9hai/
p9hai_taskflow.htm).
To manage POWER9 processor-based servers, the HMC must be at HMC must be at Version 9 Release 1,
service pack 920. To view the HMC version and release, complete the following steps:
1. If your system was preinstalled with an operating system, you must exit MDC (manufacturing default
configuration) mode so that you can open a console and access your operating system. To exit MDC
mode, complete the following steps:
a. Select Resources > All Systems.
b. Select System > Actions > View System Partitions.
c. Under Properties, select General Settings.
d. Select Power On Parameters and set the Partition Start Policy to User-Initiated.
e. Under System Actions, select Operations > Power On.
f. Once the system is in the partition standby state and the default partition is in the Not Activated
state, select the default partition and choose Activate.
2. In the navigation area, click Updates.
