3.4 Initial tour of the desktop
You will now be viewing the HMC desktop as shown in Figure 3-12.
The desktop comprises the following components:
Fluxbox desktop. This is a standard Linux desktop supplied with the embedded OS. There
is a task bar at the bottom of the Fluxbox desktop.
HMC Window. This panel displays the HMC Management Environment. As shown in
Figure 3-12, a managed server has been discovered, but the right-hand navigation bar has
not been expanded.
With the mouse, right-click the desktop to reveal a selection panel. This panel allows you to
select and start emulators, the HMC console, and browser sessions.

3.4.1 Terminal menu
Here we discuss the items on the Terminal menu.
rcshell (or restricted shell): This is a command line interface. You can enter the LPAR
migration command (see Chapter 9, “Migration of existing LPAR profiles to HMC” on
page 251, and for other HMC commands, see Appendix A, “HMC command list” on
page 473). While this is a Linux command line, you have a very restricted set of available
commands you can use.
