Re: Installing a 520 for the first time

Patch level on HMC is 7.3.4 SP2 so I am ok at that point. So from the
power6 I could go from the hmc1 port to the the 5 port switch and then to
the back of the current HMC?? It appears that the HMC has a T1 and T2. I
am back to once I do that then fire up the power6 box or do a add managed
system on the HMC first and if so to what IP??

I manage multiple machines with one hmc. A 9117-MMA, 8203-E4A and a
9408-M25 with a total of 12 lpars.
We have a second hmc for backup. Almost never use it.
Rarely physically touch the HMC's. Normally access them remotely. Even
when in the same room.

The current HMC is managing a power 5 box, the new power6 is in another
rack, thought the game plan would be to power up the power6 using lan
console then add a managed system via HMC. Isn't the power6 box
pre-shipped
with DST tagged for console type(3) lan console. I can use port 2300 on
the
current power 5 box.

Why would you want to use LAN Console if you have a HMC? You can just
connect to the HMC, Port 2300 and get your 5250 fix from your PC.

Attach the machine to the HMC before powering it up. The HMC will
automatically add it to the managed system (assuming the HMC is
configured correctly). The HMC will allow you to set ASMI passwords
during initial setup, and you'll be able to access ASMI through the
HMC.
