1.5 Terminology
Based on the integration into IBM Systems Director, a common terminology
replaces the Hardware Management Console and Integrated Virtualization
Manger specific terminology. Table 1-4 shows a mapping of terminology used on
the Hardware Management Console versus the terminology used in the SDMC.
Terminology might change slowly, so you might see and hear old terminology
mixed with new terminology for a period of time.

1.6 Functional differences
The SDMC incorporates most functions of the Hardware Management Console.
This incorporation has been done through direct mapping of commands or by
replacing functions that are present already in IBM Systems Director. Some
functions are not available in the first release of the SDMC, notably the ability to
handle system plans.
