RE: Not HMC

  If the front bezzel has the HMC=0 or HMC=1 on it, then the i5 thinks it
is controlled by an HMC as well.  You might be better off, when you are
in the ASMI interface to reset the FSP to factory defaults.

Justins advise will solve how firmware updates are applied to the FSP.

You need to log in to the ASM interface and change the system back to
i5/OS-managed.  Probably couldn't hurt to remove the HMC-managedness of
the entire CEC, but that's pretty heavy-duty stuff.

You may want to call IBM on this one - it's not an easy task making a
machine not HMC-managed in its entirety.  It's easy to make the FSP
updates managed by the OS, but to get the HMC=0 off the display will
take some more work.

Subject: Not HMC


Last month, we put an HMC on our i520 to look at possibly partitioning
it.
That was a complete failure since the box is capped (a different
problem).

So I removed the HMC and put the Ops Console back in and everything
seemed great until....

I put on PTFs and some of them are the firmware updates.  The system
still thinks it is HMC managed even though it isn't. SST shows console
as Ops Console.

Any ideas what to do next before I call IBM?
