To download the Web Based System Manager client you simply open a browser window and type the URL http://<ip address of your HMC>/remote_client.html.

To check the version of your HMC, type lshmc -V

hscroot@localhost:~> lshmc -V

The Hardware Management Console v7 has web access, so you don’t need to install a client to use it.
