Amen to that!
IBM made the HMC not a "system", but an "appliance", meaning: it shouldn't be looked at as just another computer with an OS but like something more akin to a toaster.
The reason is to avoid all sorts of mayhem an inexperienced/incompetent administrator could cause to this very central and essential system. We even had a complete discussion thread about this:
[Opinion] A Public Answer To Rob McNelly.
While i still do not think this construct is well-thought i can appreciate the notion that incompetent administrators pose a risk for the operation of the HMC. So, if you are knowledgeable enough to hack your way into the HMC you are probably knowledgeable enough to avoid becoming a liability yourself. And if you are not, then it is probably for the best that you are being kept off the system.

update-guestfs-appliance
LIBGUESTFS(8) System Manager's Manual LIBGUESTFS(8)
NAME
update-guestfs-appliance - update the supermin appliance used by libguestfs
SYNOPSIS
update-guestfs-appliance
DESCRIPTION
update-guestfs-appliance creates or updates the supermin appliance for use with libguestfs. It uses febootstrap for this, therefore access
to the package repository is needed.
A supermin appliance contains only lists of files and directories. The contents of the referenced files are only copied into an ad-hoc
filesystem whenever libguestfs starts a virtual machine. Therefore, calling update-guestfs-appliance is only needed after libguestfs has
been installed or when the filesystem layouts or dependencies of needed packages on the host system have been changed.
FILES
/usr/lib/guestfs/make.sh (the script that does the actual work),
/usr/lib/guestfs/supermin.d/hostfiles
/usr/lib/guestfs/supermin.d/base.img
SEE ALSO
guestfish(1), guestmount(1), febootstrap(8), febootstrap-supermin-helper(8).
AUTHOR
update-guestfs-appliance and this manual page were written by Hilko Bengen <bengen@debian.org>, for the Debian project (and may be used by
others).
