    I want to order a 4X550 Rack mount server, I want to manage them from
    one station (ex: Flat panel + KVM switch), so, is this possible? & if
    yes, how?

    Thanks & Regards

    are you aware that a hmc only costs approx. 3.000 $ ??

    if you need it or not I could answer if you tell us what you call
    "manage a server".
    you can get the p550 up+running one single aix-instance without a hmc

    switching to a hmc later however might involve many reconfigurations

    another - not yet mentioned - advantage of the hmc is that you dont need
    serial lines anymore; no cabling, simply use your existing network
    structure with a vlan or a separate ethernet switch

    Hi Admin:

    Do I need to order the HMC to manage the 4X POWER5 550 servers (no LPAR
    needs)?
    Can I manage the above server by order flat panel console kit (KVM)?
