To add power servers to a new HMC use:
# Login into HMC web interface as hscroot user
# Go to all Systems
# Choose option for "Add Managed Systems"
# Add the IP address of HMC (not VIOS) of the power server to be added
# Enter hmc admin password for authentication.  (Default password is admin).
# On confirm Add systems popup click "Add"
# There might be prompt to set ASM General password.  We can leave default (admin/admin) or set new password as per requirement
# Add other power servers in same way
# 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.
# 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
