Limitations
System
• When an HMC is connected to the system, the integrated system ports are
rendered nonfunctional. In this case, the customer must install an asynchronous
adapter for serial port usage.
• Integrated system ports are not supported under AIX or Linux when the HMC
ports are connected to an HMC. Either the HMC ports or the integrated system
ports can be used, but not both.
