You can get the FSP addresses at 30 off of the front panel. You will see
the addresses for HMC1 and HMC2.

Subject: RE: I/O Battery cache replacement problems
When was the last time you were able to see this server on the HMC? The
concern I am trying to address is:
Have you upgraded your firmware beyond the support capability of your HMC?
Classic situation is that company has been running fat and happy for
years just doing 'traditional' system maintenance, cumes and what not and
haven't laid a hand on their HMC in years. They set their system i to get
firmware updates from the cume. Now that they are in a situation where
they have to use the HMC but they cannot because their system i is at a
firmware level beyond the capability of that HMC.

Did you record the IP address of your FSP somewhere so that you can step
through the HMC configuration and check it?
Is the connection between your HMC and your FSP on your lan or on some
dedicated lan?
