The IBM PowerVM driver can manage both HMC and IVM PowerVM
guests. VIOS connections are tunneled through HMC.

</li></ul>
<h2>
<a name="uri" id="uri">Connections to the PowerVM driver</a>
</h2>
<p>
Some example remote connection URIs for the driver are:
</p>
<pre>
phyp://user@hmc/system (HMC connection)
phyp://user@ivm/system (IVM connection)
</pre>
<p>
<strong>Note</strong>: 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 <a href="remote.html">remote transport
mechanism</a> provided by the remote driver and libvirtd will
not work, and you cannot use URIs like
<code>phyp+ssh://example.com</code>.
</p>
<h3>
<a name="uriformat" id="uriformat">URI Format</a>
</h3>
<p>
URIs have this general form (<code>[...]</code> marks an
optional part, <code>{...|...}</code> marks a mandatory choice).
</p>
<pre>
phyp://[username@]{hmc|ivm}/managed_system
