IBM eServer pSeries Hardware Management Console Security White Paper

Overview The pSeries Hardware Management Console (HMC) consists of a 32-bit Intel processor-based computer running a modified Linux operating system. The primary function of the HMC is to run a graphical user interface based on Java that provides management tools for controlling one or more POWER4 servers and associated logical partitions (LPARs). This white paper describes what IBM has done to protect the HMC from unauthorized access or exploitation in a networked environment. The HMC provides tools for managing complex system topologies, including static and dynamic logical partitions, clusters of virtual servers and the pSeries High Performance Switch.
