Request Access page
Use the Request Access page to request access to a system to which your
SDMC has not yet authenticated. Ensure that you have the correct authorization
to access the system. You can launch this task only when the Access state of
the system is No Access. This task is launched automatically when you click the
Access state of the system when the Access state of the system is No Access.
You can also launch it from the context menu of the server by right-clicking the
system and selecting Security  Request Access. You should see the Request
Access page (Figure 5-3).

The User ID field is pre-filled with the value HMC and is disabled. The password
is the same as the Access Password on the Add Managed System panel of the
HMC. On successful request access, the Access state of the system changes to
OK, which means you have access to the system. After a system is accessed,
additional tasks for managing the system are available. The Virtual Servers
belonging to the system are populated after a successful request access only.
