I think you look at it from the wrong side: the HMC is an appliance and your possibilities to implement there anything useful at all are limited. (Right now it is relatively easy to become root on the HMC, given that
shellshock bug, but most of the time you are in a poor position when you try to do administration work on the HMC.)
My suggestion is to write a script which queries the HMC remotely about hardware conditions. Issue "lssyscfg" and/or related commands via a ssh-connection and then parse in your script what comes back. We use this mechanism to automate things like LPAR generation and similar tasks, but you can surely automate your task this way too.
I hope this helps.
