i5 and the HMC

Hi,

We're about to move into an i5 and I have some questions about the "HMC"
that are not (clearly) answered by the IBM documents I've been able to find.
Yes, I've seen the HMC faq and my only question is: who "frequently" asked
these questions anyway?  

 

I haven't made the jump to the PC-as-a-console (Operations Console), there's
been no reason to and you just can't beat a twinax console for
dependability.

 

Is the "HMC" mandatory?  i.e., do I still have SST and DST as always or do
these functions get replaced by the Hardware Management Console?

 

Just how much do I need to know about the HMC before I roll in an i5?  I'll
be doing the migration, so if there's something I need to know, well, I need
to know it. :-)  Or, Can I just ignore all the stuff about the HMC and go on
as always?

 

TIA
