IBM hardware management consoles
Managing a complex, diverse and geographically-spread computing environment can be a costly and time-consuming task if not approached in the right way. The requirement to manage servers, logical partitions and capacity on demand via a standard interface is central to providing an IT infrastructure that is efficient, secure and scalable.
Fortunately, for IBM systems the IBM Hardware Management Console is available to deliver an inexpensive method of administrating complex server configurations.
IBM Hardware Management Console
The IBM Hardware Management Console (HMC) consists of a 32-bit Intel-based desktop PC with a DVD-RAM drive. It offers a standard user interface for configuring and operating partitioned and SMP systems with features that enable a system administrator to:
• Create and maintain a multiple-partitioned environment
• Display a virtual operating system session terminal for each partition
• Display virtual operator panel values for each partition
• Detect, report, and store changes in hardware conditions
• Power managed systems on and off
• Acts as a service focal point for service representatives to determine an appropriate service strategy and enable the Service Agent Call-Home capability
• Activate additional resources on demand
Whatever your requirements for the IBM Hardware Management Console, Coworth have many years experience in implementing and using the solution and so are able to help and advise you with your needs.
