Re: how to operate an HMC

[Roberto José Etcheverry Romero <yggdrasil.raiker@xxxxxxxxx>]

What model is that HMC? i've never in my life seen an HMC with software
older than v5, i know they exist but i've never seen them.
If the HMC supports it you need to get up to v7r3.5 for Power5 hard or
higher for p6/7 hard.
Let's start with the HMC model and work from there...
