Hardware Management Console Logon

Use this window to specify a user identification (user ID) and password for logging on to the Hardware Management Console (HMC).

Your user ID and password are assigned to you initially by your access administrator. Afterwards, you can change your password while logging on to the Hardware Management Console. If you do not know your user ID and password, contact your access administrator or whoever is responsible for controlling access to the console.

Note: If your password has expired you will be prompted to change it.

Complete both entry fields, then click Logon to log on to the HMC.

Note: For some browsers, the Logon button may initially be disabled until the logon window has completely loaded. If you see any security prompts from the browser you should respond quickly to trust the content and allow it to run. Some security prompts may have time limits as to how long you have to respond. Respond quickly, otherwise, the Logon button may remain disabled. If the Logon button remains disabled, close your browser window and try again. You should also check that your browser has Java enabled.

Note: Your password is not displayed as you type it; asterisks are displayed instead.
