Preparing to use the web browser

Perform the necessary steps to prepare to use a web browser to access the HMC.

Before you can use a web browser to access an HMC, you must do the following:

• Configure the HMC to allow remote control for specified users.
• For LAN-based connections, know the TCP/IP address of the HMC to be controlled, and have correctly set up any firewall access between the HMC and the web browser.
• Have a valid user ID and password assigned by the access administrator for HMC web access.
