• The integrated system ports are supported for modem and async terminal
connections. Any other application using serial ports requires a serial port adapter
to be installed in a PCI slot. The integrated system ports do not support HACMP
TM
configurations.
Hardware management console (HMC) machine code
If attaching an HMC to a new server or adding function to an existing server that
requires a firmware update, the HMC machine code may need to be updated.
To determine the HMC machine code level required for the firmware level on any
server, go to the following Web page to access the Fix Level Recommendation Tool
(FLRT) on or after the planned availability date for this product. FLRT will identify the
correct HMC machine code for the selected system firmware level
http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/flrt/home
If a single HMC is attached to multiple servers, the HMC machine code level must be
updated to the server with the most recent firmware level. All prior levels of server
firmware are supported with the latest HMC machine code level.
