7315-C01 Hardware Management Console (HMC)
The HMC is a user interface that provides the functions needed to create and maintain a
multiple-partitioned environment. The interface allows you to directly manipulate HMC-defined objects and
learn more about detected changes in hardware conditions. The HMC also provides service technicians
with diagnostic information for systems that can operate in a multiple-partitioned environment.
