To add power servers to a new HMC use:

  1. Login into HMC web interface as hscroot user
  2. Go to all Systems
  3. Choose option for "Add Managed Systems"
  4. Add the IP address of HMC (not VIOS) of the power server to be added
  5. Enter hmc admin password for authentication. (Default password is admin).
  6. On confirm Add systems popup click "Add"
  7. There might be prompt to set ASM General password. We can leave default (admin/admin) or set new password as per requirement
  8. Add other power servers in same way
  9. Optionally download HMC scanner tool from https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/hmc-scanner-power-server-config-and-performance-stats and use it scan the server. Note that this requires incoming SSH on port 22 of HMC to be enabled.
  10. Once power servers are added to HMC we can use several commands such as vtmenu to operate VIOS / LPARS / power servers using HMC. See example commands at http://rameshperam-aix.blogspot.com/2013/03/command-line-hmc-commands.html
