The IBM Z HMC collection is part of the broader initiative to bring Ansible Automation to IBM Z® through the offering Red Hat® Ansible Certified Content for IBM Z®. The IBM Z HMC collection supports automation tasks such as creating, updating or deleting partitions and other resources that can be managed with the IBM Z Hardware Management Console (HMC).
Red Hat® Ansible Certified Content for IBM Z provides the ability to connect IBM Z® to clients' wider enterprise automation strategy through the Ansible Automation Platform ecosystem. This enables development and operations automation on Z through a seamless, unified workflow orchestration with configuration management, provisioning, and application deployment in one easy-to-use platform.
The IBM Z HMC collection is following the Red Hat® Ansible Certified Content for IBM Z® method of distributing content. Collections will be developed in the open, and when content is ready for use it is released to Ansible Galaxy for community adoption. Once contributors review community usage, feedback, and are satisfied with the content published, the collection will then be released to Ansible Automation Hub as certified and IBM supported for Red Hat® Ansible Automation Platform subscribers.
For guides and reference, please review the documentation or the Z HMC section in the unified documentation.
The IBM Z HMC collection provides Ansible modules and sample_playbooks for automating management tasks on the Hardware Management Console (HMC) of IBM Z and LinuxONE machines, such as creating, updating or deleting partitions and other resources.
