Verify that Installation is Complete by Using the HMC Interface

The HMC provides a predefined user ID called hscroot . The hscroot password is
abc123. This hscroot user ID is a member of the System Administrator role. When the

management environment is already selected. Select Partition Management to see the
list of managed systems. This window is divided into the Navigation area and the

managed by the console. Each system application contains its own set of applications
that contain managed objects, tasks, and actions for a related set of system entities or
resources.
The contents area panel displays results based on the item you select in the Navigation
area. When you click on an application in the Navigation area, the Contents area
displays the tasks you can perform using that application.

v Software Maintenance

be created for the Service Representative role to perform service functions.
