I'm thinking that's a positive sign that you have PowerVM listed in ASMI.
How do you bring up the ASM console? Do you just point a browser at the IP address?
On that ASM menu, under system configuration, is there a 'hardware management consoles' link? If so, if you click it does it show any connected HMCs?
Have you seen this web page? Lots of good info that you mind find useful.

If you want access to firmware updates, software, and fixes, I think you'll need to figure out what software entitlement you have. That will probably require you contacting IBM with the machine and serial number so they can tell you what their records show. How did you acquire this machine? IBM or whoever sold it to you should be able to help with that process.
