3 IBM Virtual Management Channel Kernel Driver (IBMVMC)
22 The Virtual Management Channel (VMC) is a logical device which provides an
23 interface between the hypervisor and a management partition. This interface
24 is like a message passing interface. This management partition is intended
25 to provide an alternative to systems that use a Hardware Management
26 Console (HMC) - based system management.
28 The primary hardware management solution that is developed by IBM relies
29 on an appliance server named the Hardware Management Console (HMC),

63 Virtual Management Channel (VMC)
66 A logical device, called the Virtual Management Channel (VMC), is defined
67 for communicating between the management application and the hypervisor. It
68 basically creates the pipes that enable virtualization management
69 software. This device is presented to a designated management partition as
75 management partition sides of the channel are running prior to
84 for the actual flow of HMC messages between the management partition and
87 Interface CRQ message. Only the management partition drives RDMA

106 This section provides an example for the management application
118 resources available in both the management partition and the hypervisor.
119 Finally, the hypervisor requests that the management partition create an

176 During normal runtime, the management application and the hypervisor
178 sending data to the hypervisor, the management application performs a
184 state. When the hypervisor sends a message to the management, the data is
186 the management partition. The driver RDMA’s the buffer into the partition
187 and passes the data up to the appropriate management application via a
189 available to read. The management application may use select() to wait for
