SSH client
In order to connect to the HMC via SSH, an SSH client needs to be installed on the client PC.
One such client is PuTTY. Setup and install of the SSH client is outside of the scope of this
document.
Connecting SSH client to the HMC
Whichever SSH client is used, you will need to connect to port 22 on the HMC. Figure 6-37
shows connecting with the PuTTY SSH client. When connected, you will be presented with a
UNIX-like signon screen as shown in Figure 6-38. Signon with the appropriate HMC user ID
and password.
