Viewing a system plan on an HMC

You can use the System Plan Viewer on the Hardware Management Console (HMC) to view a system plan.

About this task

The System Plan Viewer uses a navigation tree and tables to display the information in a system-plan file. The viewer includes the dynamic table-column sorting feature. The System Plan Viewer is included with the HMC so that it can be accessed from the HMC. However, you must reenter your user ID and password before you can view the system plan.

Notes:
  • Some messages, such as internal drive bay cabling instructions can be viewed only when you use the System Plan Viewer in the SPT.
  • With HMC Version 7 Release 7.4.0, or later, you can view information about expansion units, such as expansion unit loops and cable characteristics.

To view a system plan from the HMC, complete the following steps:

  2. Click All System Plans. The All System plans page is displayed.
  3. In the contents area, select the system plan that you want to view.
