The IBM PowerVM driver can manage both HMC and IVM PowerVM guests. VIOS connections are tunneled through HMC.
Some example remote connection URIs for the driver are:
phyp://user@hmc/system (HMC connection) phyp://user@ivm/system (IVM connection)
Note: In contrast to other drivers, the
PowerVM (or phyp) driver is a client-side-only driver,
internally using ssh to connect to the specified hmc or ivm
server. Therefore, the remote transport
mechanism provided by the remote driver and libvirtd will
not work, and you cannot use URIs like
phyp+ssh://example.com.
URIs have this general form ([...] marks an
optional part, {...|...} marks a mandatory choice).
