Re: HMC Question

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark,

 You will definately need both Ethernet and KVM.  You will be 
interacting with the HMC to configure the i5 system but once configured 
much of what you do can be done on a web interface to the HMC. The HMC 
communicates to the i5 over Ethernet to dedicated ports on the FSP.

 THE most important part of implementing HMC is to get it up to date on 
code, set up, configured etc *BEFORE* you even apply power to your i5.
