More than 'Appears' it's stated everywhere that Power8 machines require HMC version 8. AND current Power8 firmware requires HMC 8.8.4.0 or newer.

Also as you stated HMC Version 8 does NOT support Power5 servers. So you will need to maintain two HMCs in that situation or convert the Power5 to LAN console and HMCfree for it's duration.

It appears that HMC V7 does not support power 8. If I upgrade the HMC to V8, it will not support my Power 5. I will be retiring the P5 in a couple of months. This P8 is to replace the P5 in a remote site. Then I will be replacing the P5 in the local site. But for now I need an HMC that will support a P5, P7, and P8.

Any suggestions?

should be admin/admin, too.
If the vendor did a FSP reset, HMC should ask to update password,
so you can set one for user HMC.
