9.4.4 Customer migration tasks
The customer must perform the following tasks:
1. Complete the setup of the HMC:
– The new HMC will include a setup document and will come pre-loaded with the
Hardware Information Center which contains additional information on many topics
related to the HMC. Review 3.1.3, “Initial setup of the HMC” on page 48 for an overview
of the HMC setup.
2. The customer imports/migrates their LPAR configurations to the HMC:
– During the migration of the LPAR configurations, partition P0/Primary is reassigned the
next available partition number, Pn+1. The Primary partition, as you know it today, no
longer exists. The HMC is now used to manage the partitions.
– To start the import process, a Linux command is executed via the command line from
an rshell session at the HMC.
3. Perform the following steps to migrate the configuration data to the HMC:
a. Minimize your HMC window. You should have a blank screen.
Note: To print topics from the Hardware Information Center, consider accessing HMC via
the Web-based System Management remote client, which allows you to print from a PC
browser. Review 6.6.1, “Web SM” on page 208 for details on Web-based Systems
Management Remote Client.
