4. Appendix
This section contains information that is referenced from other sections, and that does not really need to be read in sequence.
4.1. Glossary
This documentation uses a few special terms:
- HMC
Hardware Management Console; the node the zhmcclient talks to.
- session-id
an opaque string returned by the HMC as the result of a successful logon, for use by subsequent operations instead of credential data. The HMC gives each newly created session-id a lifetime of 10 hours, and expires it after that.
