Re: how to operate an HMC

my mistake. the HMC is V7R7.3.0.0 The HMC was last used at a 520 shop.
They upgraded to a 720 and had to get a new HMC.

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...

I have an HMC connected to the HMC port of a 520. But I am seeing no sign
that the HMC sees the 520 at all. Are there some basic instructions I can
follow to connect the HMC?

The service processor of the 520 is working to the extent that I can
connect a browser to it and login. Now I want to connect the HMC in

order

to update the firmware of the 520.

The HMC is a standalone PC. When I login to it, it says the software is
V4R7.3.0.0.

On the HMC PC is a 5706 card. This card has 2 network ports. Currently I
have a network cable from one of the ports on the 5706 card to HMC1 on

the

520.

In the HMC config, under the "servers" tab I have created a server. The
name is "192.168.2.147". Which is also the IP address of that server. And
the IP address of the HMC1 port of the 520.

Since this HMC has 3 network ports, the 1 on the motherboard and the 2 on
the 5706 card, do I have to specify that the 192.168.2.147 server is

using

one of these network ports? When I click on the server config I don't

see

any prompt where I can change the network port it uses or the IP of the
server it connects to.

thanks,
