IBM 7042-CR6 Hardware Management Console (HMC) is a dedicated-function appliance used to manage IBM i, AIX and Linux system resources running on Power8, Power7, Power6 and Power5 System service functions, logical partitions (LPARs), dynamic resource allocation and purchase Capacity on Demand Upgrades. The 7042-CR6 IBM HMCcan manage multiple physically or logically (over a LAN) attached partitions and different Power Systems generations and OS400 Versions simultaneously, and can be physically attached to a server or logically attached over a LAN.

The IBM 7042-CR6 HMC also supports advanced service functions, including guided repair and verify, concurrent firmware updates for managed systems, and around-the-clock error reporting with Electronic Service Agent for faster support. The 7042-CR6 HMC management features can monitor and manage server utilization and enable simple provisioning of server resources that use PowerVM virtualization technology and temporary and permanent capacity on demand (CoD) activations. A IBM HMC is required for temporary CoD activation. An IBM HMC or the ASMI interface can be used for permanent CoD upgrades.

Modems are available for customers planning to use ESA connection, but broadband connection is recommended. Either an external modem (#0032) or an internal modem (#0033) may be ordered. If no modem is ordered, then feature 0031 must be selected, which indicates that the modem has been declined. External modems can only be ordered for ship-to countries that are not homologated for internal modems. External modem voltage capabilities are 100 - 240 V.
