Figure 2-39 shows a redundant HMC and redundant service processor connectivity
configuration.
Figure 2-39 Redundant HMC connection and redundant service processor configuration
In a configuration with multiple systems or HMC, the customer is required to provide switches
or hubs to connect each HMC to the server FSP Ethernet ports in each system:
򐂰 One HMC should connect to the port labeled HMC Port 1 on the first two CEC drawers
of each system.
򐂰
A second HMC must be attached to HMC Port 2 on the first two CEC drawers of
each system.
This solution provides redundancy for both the HMC and the service processors.
