Compute-Intensive workloads can now benefit from packing 2 POWER8 processors into a 1U
server design
• At least 1.8x more threads per 1U server enabling higher container densities compared
to Xeon E5-2690 v4 systems
• Ideal for dense database and virtualization workloads requiring system design balance
of through-put and density

Power HMC Install – Initial Power-on
The Power HMC V8R8.7.0 software will be preinstalled in manufacturing – the following screens are to show how to use the recovery .iso to “Recover or Upgrade” the appliance
Start up Remote Control or Use Local VGA on BMC and then remote mount “hmcinstall.iso”

Installing HMC on PowerVM Environment (LPAR)
IntroductionThe HMC virtual appliance enables clients to host the HMC virtual appliance as a virtual machine (VM) in their existing virtual environments or to provide a dedicated virtualized environment for the HMC virtual appliance.
The hardware appliance HMC and the virtual appliance HMC function essentially the same. The HMC virtual appliance can be used to manage any of the systems that are supported by the version V8R8.7.0. HMC, which includes Power Systems servers with IBM POWER7, POWER8, and POWER9 processors.
