The moving parts are a mystery to me and I have never used an HMC.  My Bladecenter just used VIOS and everything connected via the backplane so all the HW components and their use "just worked"....I didn't want to go to the building where the P9 sits unless I had to ....<LAZY>.  Hence the post to verify the drive over to cable it was worth it.

Will cable it up and see what happens...

Thanks

Yes, you need to provide the cable from the intel box (via a switch, etc) to the HMC1 port on the POWER system. I have several of these up and running and they work fine. Clearly that needs to be configured in vCenter.

Just out of curiosity, how would you propose that the vHMC (or any other HMC for that matter) would communicate with the FSP without that cable?

Also, once you have the HMC connected using LAN console will be way too old school (and harder) so you might just as well convert the console to HMC at that point.

Subject: Virtual HMC connection

Does the vHMC use the same connection as a physical HMC? I installed the vHMC VM in vCenter and it is running but do I need to have a cable running to one of the HMC ports on the back of my 9009-41A? I think so but I am not sure...."Find managed systems" doesn't find anything but I don't have it cabled to the HMC port on the back either....

I manage the P9's IBM i partition with the Lan Console but want to use the other 3 cores for Linux partitions. HMC is the only way to make that happen so that is why I am using the vHMC.
