HMC tasks, user roles, IDs, and associated commands

This chapter lists the tasks you can perform using the Hardware Management Console (HMC) and the user roles, IDs and commands that are associated with that task.

You can create customized user profiles that allow you to have unique user IDs and multiple user roles. The management of these user roles is performed by using the Manage Task and Resource Roles task. The Manage User Profiles and Access task provides the ability to define which user role is associated with each specific user ID.

Some tasks have an associated command. For more information about accessing the HMC command line, see Using the HMC remote command line.

Some tasks can only be performed using the command line. For a listing of those tasks, see Table 7.
