After you have specified the HMC address, user, and password, click Select to retrieve the LPAR list from the HMC.

Note: HMC REST services are used by Db2® Mirror during the setup and configuration process. The HMC REST services are provided through https, which may require Db2 Mirror to install a certificate. You will see the dialog shown below before the certificate is installed. Verify the certificate information before clicking OK to add the certificate.

The LPARs are grouped by the names of the Power® systems managed by the HMC. If there is only one Power system managed by the HMC, then the list will be expanded by default. Otherwise, the lists are collapsed as shown below.
