eServer Hardware Management Console for pSeries Maintenance Guide SA38-0603 PDF (675KB)

This book is used by the service representative to help repair hardware management console (HMC) hardware failures. This book assumes that the service representative is trained to service the HMC system hardware and the managed systems that are supported by the HMC.

This book provides maintenance information to help diagnose and repair problems that may occur on the HMC. The HMC consists of a personal computer that runs software that is used to manage the configurations of one or more other systems. "Managed system" is the term used in the book for references to systems that are managed by the HMC.

The HMC is connected to one or more managed system through a serial port. The managed systems are capable of running logically partitioned configurations (LPAR) or symmetric multi-processor configurations. The HMC provides the tools and interfaces to enable system administrators and service representatives to perform installation, configuration, problem determination, and service tasks on the managed system. Because the HMC can be connected to multiple managed systems, there is a need for only one console to perform these tasks on numerous managed systems.

This book refers to other service documentation that is available for the HMC. The system hardware part of the HMC is based on a 6578 Model D5U personal computer. The maintenance documentation for the 6578 Model D5U is used to service the system as a stand-alone system.

This book provides maintenance information for specific configurations of the HMC including adapters and devices that have been added to the configuration to provide communication between the HMC and the managed system.

This book should be used if you have been directed to perform HMC tasks from the managed system's service documentation.
