## Motivation powerhmc1 is broken. Antonio Eisner has installed a new powerhmc as replacement. To be enable to manage our QA Power8 and Power9 like shutdown, restart as before, we need to move both Power machines to powerhmc3. Power8: QA-Power8-2-8247-22L-SN1010D5A Power9: redcurrant (novalink) At moment we can still use powerhmc2 to trigger network installation, but we are not able to manage redcurrant lpars. AndwWe don't have control of QA-Power8-2-8247-22L-SN1010D5A at all, only current running lpars can be accessed directly. ## Acceptance criteria * **AC1:** PVM based openQA jobs pass the bootloader step connecting to the machines over HMC ## Suggestions * Create a dedicated user over https://powerhmc3.arch.suse.de * Add credentials in https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-pillars-openqa/-/blob/master/openqa/workerconf.sls#L1198 * Use jobs like https://openqa.suse.de/tests/latest?arch=ppc64le&distri=sle&flavor=Online&machine=ppc64le-hmc&test=default&version=15-SP5 for verification
