Hardware Management Console (HMC)

The Hardware Management Console (HMC) is a Linux workstation application featuring a graphical user interface (GUI) for operator access and console application programming interface (API) support for local and remote console applications. The console API allows programmatic access for performing system maintenance for HMC-managed mainframe systems automatically.

The HMC controls and manages one or more mainframe systems through a local area network connection (LAN) to the associated Service Element (SE) for each mainframe system.
