Chapter 1. General description 29
This code level is required for new LPAR function support, which allows the HMC to manage
more LPARs per processor core; a core can now be partitioned in up to 20 LPARs (0.05 of a
core).
The IBM Power 770 and Power 780 are not supported by the Integrated Virtualization
Manager (IVM).
Several HMC models are supported to manage POWER7+ based systems. Two models
(7042-CR6 and 7042-CR7) are available for ordering at the time of writing, but you can also
use one of the withdrawn models listed in Table 1-14.
Table 1-14 HMC models supporting POWER7+ processor technology-based servers
At the time of writing, base Licensed Machine Code Version 7 Revision 7.6.0 or later is
required to support the Power 770(9117-MMD) and Power 780(9179-MHD).
Existing HMC models 7310 can be upgraded to Licensed Machine Code Version 7 to support
environments that might include POWER5, POWER5+, POWER6, POWER6+, and POWER7
and POWER7+ processor-based servers. Licensed Machine Code Version 6 (FC 0961) is not
available for 7042 HMCs.
If you want to support more than 254 partitions in total, the HMC might require a memory
upgrade to 4 GB.
1.11.2 IBM SDMC
IBM withdrew the SDMC product. Customers should migrate to the HMC platform by
upgrading their 7042_CR6 server to the latest HMC code. See IBM Power Systems: SDMC to
HMC Migration Guide (RAID1), REDP-4872.
