398 IBM z13s Technical Guide
For more information, see 11.2.2, “Rack-mounted HMC” on page 392.
11.2.7 Tree Style User Interface and Classic Style User Interface
Two user interface styles are provided with an HMC. The Tree Style User Interface (default)
uses a hierarchical model that is common in newer operating systems, and features
context-based task launching. The
Classic Style User Interface uses the drag-and-drop
interface style.
The Classic Style User Interface is not available on zBX Model 004 SEs.
If at least one CPC defined on the HMC is running in DPM mode, the welcome window on the
HMC changes. Setting up a machine in DPM mode is wizard-based. For more information,
see 11.5.15, “Dynamic Partition Manager” and Appendix E, “IBM Dynamic Partition Manager”
on page 501.
11.3 HMC and SE connectivity
The HMC has two Ethernet adapters, which are supported by HMC Driver 27 for connectivity
to up to two different Ethernet LANs.
The SEs on z13s servers are connected to the System Control Hubs (SCHs) to control the
internal network. In previous z Systems servers, the customer network was connected to the
BPH. Now the SEs are directly connected to the customer network. The HMC to CPC
communication is now only possible through an Ethernet switch connected to the J03 or
Statements of Direction:
Removal of support for Classic Style User Interface on the Hardware Management
Console and Support Element: The IBM z13 and z13s servers will be the last z Systems
servers to support Classic Style User Interface. In the future, user interface enhancements
will be focused on the Tree Style User Interface.
Removal of support for the Hardware Management Console Common Infrastructure
Model (CIM) Management Interface: IBM z13 and z13s servers will be the last z Systems
servers to support the Hardware Console Common Information Model (CIM) Management
Interface. The Hardware Management Console Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP), and Web Services application programming interfaces (APIs) will continue to be
supported.
