    It does not use a KVM ... it uses a monitor, keyboard/mouse
    (touchpad/button), since it is a graphical interface. No KVM, though it
    could use it I suppose, and its monitor/keyboard/etc.
     
    The connections are via private LAN (literally a switch or hub
    connected to the different systems and the HMC), rather than the old P4
    serial connections. Serial ports on the target system are still
    unavailable, however. Don't get that, but whatever.

    Need your help,
     
    I would like to start using an HMC to manage my P5 servers, with the
    lastest code we can connect up to 48 servers non-P590/P595.
     
    The question I have is that I see that it uses a KVM switch and can't
    figure out why it needs one? I read though the redbook (alittle out of
    date) but it doesn't talk about the KVM.
     
    Anyone using an HMC for P5 can shed some light on this that would be
    great.
     
    Thanks in advance,
    Vince
