ports can be used, but not both. IBM i can continue to use a system port for communication to a UPS even with an HMC attached.

The integrated system ports are supported for modem and asynch terminal connections by AIX or Linux. Any other application using serial ports requires a serial port adapter to be installed in a PCI slot. The integrated system ports do

not support HACMPTM configurations. IBM i only supports the use of the system ports for attachment to a UPS.

Hardware management console (HMC) machine code

An HMC or IVM is required to manage POWER7 processor-based servers implementing partitioning. Multiple POWER7 processor-based servers can be supported by a single HMC.

If an HMC is used to manage any POWER7 processor-based server, the HMC must be a CR3, or later, model rack-mount HMC or C05, or later, deskside HMC.

If attaching an HMC to a new server or adding function to an existing server that requires a firmware update, the HMC machine code may need to be updated.

To determine the HMC machine code level required for the firmware level on any server, go to the following Web page to access the Fix Level Recommendation Tool (FLRT) on or after the planned availability date for this product. FLRT will identify the correct HMC machine code for the selected system firmware level

https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/hmc/home.html

If a single HMC is attached to multiple servers, the HMC machine code level must be updated to the server with the most recent firmware level. All prior levels of server firmware are supported with the latest HMC machine code level.

When IBM Systems Director is used to manage an HMC or if the HMC manages more than 254 partitions, the HMC should have 3 GB of RAM minimum and be CR3 model, or later, rack-mount or C06, or later, deskside.

Boot requirements

Selection of feature 0837 will indicate boot from SAN.

If IBM i (#2145) is selected as the primary operating system and SAN boot is not selected (#0837), one of the following Load/Source specify codes must be specified:

#0724 -- #1996 (177 GB 1.8" SSD) Load Source Specify

#0727 -- Remote Load Source Specify in #5886

#0840 -- #3678 (283.7 GB 15K RPM HDD) Load Source Specify

#0844 -- #3658 (428 GB 15K RPM HDD) Load Source Specify

#0851 -- #1884 (69.7 GB 15K RPM SFF HDD) Load Source Specify

#0853 -- #1888 (138 GB 15K RPM SFF HDD) Load Source Specify

#0854 -- #1909 (69 GB SFF SSD) Load Source Specify

#0856 -- #1911 (283 GB 10K RPM SFF HDD) Load Source Specify

If IBM i (#2145) is selected, one of the following system console specify codes must be selected:

#5550 -- System Console on HMC

#5553 -- System Console - Internal LAN

Processor modules

One or two processor modules are required on an order with four, six, or eight processor cores on the processor module. A minimum/maximum of one processor module is required on a Power 710 order and a minimum/maximum of two processor modules is required on a Power 730 order.

All processors must be activated.
