SDMC. To accomplish this task, perform the following steps:
1. Open the System Discovery page.

type as All. The discovery process should discover the HMC as a Hardware
Management Console.

the HMC.
The managed systems connected to the HMC are now available in the SDMC.
These systems are not displayed in the Resources tab of the Welcome page.

any of the systems and select Extended Management to see all the
management tasks that you can perform on these systems.
