When the i5 powers up, be patient, it will connect to the HMC in about

minutes, sometimes quicker, but not immediately. Once, you have the i5

you

will need to make a partition and associate all the resources of the i5

that partitions profile, set up your load source, alternative IPL

device,

and your console (which will be your HMC). Then you can activate your
profile. If i5/OS has been loaded onto the loadsource then it will boot

up.

I get through the point where the i5 is recognized by the HMC. It already
shows a partition with a default profile and it does boot up, even though
it isn't configured to use the HMC as a console and doesn't appear to have
all the resources allocated to it. I have no idea which load source and
IPL devices it's using. It appears I need to ditch the chapter on system
plans and just find where the directions are for partition
management/setup.

Thanks to you and Lucas for the pointers. Maybe I'm closer to getting the
console up and running then I believed.
