Brand: IBM AS400 iSeries
Model Number: 7042-CR8
Tags: 7042-cr8 , ibm hmc

IBM 7042-CR8 Hardware Management Console (HMC) is a dedicated-function appliance used to manage IBM i, AIX and Linux system resources running on Power9, Power8, Power7 and Power6System service functions, logical partitions (LPARs), dynamic resource allocation and purchase Capacity on Demand Upgrades. The IBM 7042-CR8 HMC can manage multiple physically or logically (over a LAN) attached partitions and different Power Systems generations and OS400 Versions simultaneously, and can be physically attached to a server or logically attached over a LAN.

The IBM 7042-CR8 HMC also supports advanced service functions, including guided repair and verify, concurrent firmware updates for managed systems, and around-the-clock error reporting with Electronic Service Agent for faster support. The 7042-CR8 HMC management features can monitor and manage server utilization and enable simple provisioning of server resources that use PowerVM virtualization technology and temporary and permanent capacity on demand (CoD) activations. A IBM HMC is required for temporary CoD activation. An IBM HMC or the ASMI interface can be used for permanent CoD upgrades.
