IBM System p5 550 and 550Q Technical Overview and Introduction

Operating system support for Advanced POWER Virtualization

Table 2-13 lists AIX 5L and Linux support for Advanced POWER Virtualization feature. 

Table 2-13   Operating system supported functions

2.13  Hardware Management Console

The Hardware Management Console (HMC) is a dedicated workstation that provides a 
graphical user interface for configuring, operating, and performing basic system tasks for the 
System p5 servers that function in either non-partitioned, LPAR, or clustered environments. In 
addition, the HMC is used to configure and to manage partitions. One HMC is capable of 
controlling multiple POWER5 and  processor-based systems. 

At the time of writing, one HMC supports up to 48 POWER5 and  processor-based 
systems and up to 254 LPARs using the HMC machine code Version 5.2. For updates of the 
machine code and HMC functions and hardware prerequisites, refer to the following Web site:

http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/hmc

POWER5 and processor-based system HMCs require Ethernet connectivity 
between HMC and server’s service processor. Moreover, if dynamic LPAR operations are 
required, all AIX 5L and Linux partitions must be enabled to communicate over the network to 
the HMC. You should ensure that sufficient Ethernet adapters are available to enable public 
and private networks if:

򐂰

The HMC 7310 Model C05 is a deskside model with one integrated 10/100/1000 Mbps 
Ethernet port, and two additional PCI slots.

򐂰

The 7310 Model CR3 is a 1U, 19-inch rack-mountable drawer that has two native 
10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports and two additional PCI slots.

For any partition in a server, it is possible to use the shared Ethernet adapter in Virtual I/O 
Server for a unique connection from HMC to partitions. Therefore, your partition does not 
require your own physical adapter to communicate to an HMC.

It is a good practice to connect the HMC to the first HMC port on the system, which is labeled 
as HMC Port 1, although other network configurations are possible. You can attach a second 
HMC to HMC Port 2 of the p5-550 or p5-550Q for redundancy (or vice versa). Figure 2-16 on 
page 61 shows a simple network configuration to enable the connection from HMC to server 
and to enable dynamic LPAR operations. For more details about HMC and the possible 
network connections, refer to:
