  • Only authorized personnel can access to the operational environment and the HMC.
  • If using an HMC, the HMC can only be used for the following tasks:
    • Initial configuration of the partitions. A partition cannot be active during the configuration process.
    • Restarting of "hanging" partitions
  • The HMC must not be used throughout operation of the configured system.
  • The system's "call home" feature must be disabled.
  • Remote modem access to the system must be disabled.
  • If AIX® runs in an LPAR-enabled environment, the administrator should check with the LPAR documentation for requirements on the EAL4+ operation of logical partitions.
  • The service authority feature must be disabled on logical partitions.
