At the time of writing, base Licensed Machine Code V7R7.7.0 (SP1), or later, is required in
order to support the Power 750 (8408-E8D) and Power 760 (9109-RMD).
The HMC V7R7.7.0 (SP1) contains the following features:
Support for managing IBM Power 750 and Power 760
Support for PowerVM functions such as new HMC GUI interface for VIOS install

Existing HMC models 7310 can be upgraded to Licensed Machine Code Version 7 to support
environments that might include POWER5, POWER5+, POWER6, POWER6+, POWER7 and
POWER7+ processor-based servers. Licensed Machine Code Version 6 (FC 0961) is not
available for 7042 HMC models.
When IBM Systems Director is used to manage an HMC, or if the HMC manages more than
254 partitions, the HMC must have a minimum of 3 GB RAM and must be a rack-mount CR3
model or later, or deskside C06 model or later.
