Chapter 1. Overview 5
See Figure 1-3 for a schematic overview. This figure shows where the SDMC fits
into the overall view of IBM Systems Director systems management.

As a successor to both Hardware Management Console and Integrated
Virtualization Manager, SDMC enables administrators to work with a high-level
view of systems. It organizes tasks in a single panel instead of using different
menus like the Hardware Management Console and Integrated Virtualization
Manager do. This single panel simplifies views of systems and day-to-day tasks.
As it was with older POWER processor based systems, the transition to a new
management console structure requires that management for
POWER5/POWER5+ processor based systems continues with either Hardware
Management Console or Integrated Virtualization Manager. Figure 1-2 on page 4
illustrates administration paths for these systems. Note that the SDMC can
administer Hardware Management Console and Integrated Virtualization
Manager as well. This eases transition from older environments into new ones.
