You need a HMC to manipulate a managed system (the hardware node). If you plan to run your system in full-partition-mode or not partitioned at all or if you do not need the redundancy features of multiple VIOS servers you do not need a HMC.
If you plan on running your hardware partitioned you will either need a HMC or IVM, but: be careful, check your license status.
If you plan to have a partitioned system, before you can install any AIX LPAR you need to isntall the VIOS and before this you need to customize your managed system (for which either IVM or HMC is necessary).
I hope this helps.

I am trying to run the lscod command against an HMC that has managed system names with spaces.
Tried enclosing the managed system names in quotes; single and double.
How do I get the command to run?

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
Tk_InitConsoleChannels - Install the console channels as standard channels
SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h>
Tk_InitConsoleChannels(interp)
ARGUMENTS
Tcl_Interp *interp (in) Interpreter in which the console channels are created.
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
Tk_InitConsoleChannels is invoked to create a set of console channels and install them as the standard channels. All I/O on these channels
will be discarded until Tk_CreateConsoleWindow is called to attach the console to a text widget.
This function is for use by shell applications based on Tk, like wish, on platforms which have no standard channels in graphical mode, like
Win32.
The interp argument is the interpreter in which to create and install the console channels.
NOTE: If this function is used it has to be called before the first call to Tcl_RegisterChannel, directly, or indirectly through other
channel functions. Because otherwise the standard channels will be already initialized to the system defaults, which will be nonsensical
for the case Tk_InitConsoleChannels is for.
