Is it possible to add a system that is running to an HMC? I thought that the systems were set by default to recieve a IP address by DHCP, but when I plug them into the switch with the HMC running DHCP, the managed system will not get an IP address.

Hi,

If the DCHP is not working you should verify the 2 HMC interfaces on the system. The default IP addresses are normally:
192.168.2.147
and
192.168.3.147

You can connect to these port directly using:
https://192.168.2.147
or
https://192.168.3.147

and verify the settings.

If still not OK, you may choose to set static IP address of these 2 HMC ports on the system and then manually add them to the HMC.

Hope this helps!

kind regards
