  • 1.  Will my HMC support Power7?

    At the last AIX VUG Webinar, It was stated that "The minimum HMC model for Power 7 management is 7310-CR4 (rack mounted) or 7310-CO5 (deskside).

    I have a 7042-CR4 rack mounted HMC. It's currently at V7R3.5.0, but I was about to upgrade it to V7R7.2 in preparation for Power 7 servers that are coming. Am I going to be able to use this HMC for P7? Is there a compatibility matrix for this? I have not been able to find one.

    Requirements for HMC is stated in Sales Manual - best to check against your particular P7 model for supported HMC type & model. Also worth noting extra RAM requirements for Director
