Configuring the HMC by using the HMC Classic or HMC Enhanced interface

Learn how to set up your network connections, configure your HMC, perform postconfiguration steps, and upgrade and update your HMC by using the HMC Classic or HMC Enhanced interface.

Notes:
  1. The HMC Classic interface is no longer available on Hardware Management Console (HMC) version 8.7.0, or later. The functions that were previously available with the HMC Classic interface are now available with the HMC Enhanced+ interface.
  2. The HMC Enhanced GUI is available on the HMC Version 8.1.0.1 or 8.2.0 by choosing the HMC Enhanced option while logging into the HMC. As of HMC version 8.3.0, the procedures and functions of the HMC Enhanced interface are now a part of the HMC Enhanced+ interface.
  3. Depending on the level of customization you intend to apply to your HMC configuration, you have several options for setting up your HMC to suit your needs. The Guided Setup wizard is a tool on the HMC designed to ease the setup of the HMC. You can choose a fast path through the wizard to quickly create the recommended HMC environment, or you can choose to fully explore the available settings that the wizard guides you through. You can also perform the configuration steps without the aid of the wizard by Configuring the HMC using the HMC menus.
