HMC 7063-CR1 BMC - baseboard management controller.
The BMC is the baseboard management controller and provides the management and monitoring functions for the boot process and the OPAL hypervisor. It fulfills many of the functions that the ASMI provided on the other Power Systems servers.
So what does this all mean?
Is BMC required?
This didn't exist on the order HMCs, correct?

Thank You
