p5 system name (not LPAR) finding from AIX command line

[ogniemi]

is there any way to get (from AIX command line) p5 system name where LPAR is created on? (not using HMC, CSM...)

I am able to find HMC address using "/usr/sbin/rsct/bin/lsrsrc IBM.ManagementServer" but have no idea how to find P5 system name from AIX command line.

You have to setup the ssh id and then use this script:

#!/usr/bin/ksh

PROGNAME=${0##*/}

HMCUSER="hscroot"       # User on HMC with super admin privilege
HMC="p5hmc"             # TCP/IP host name of HMC

function Die
{
  print -u2 "$PROGNAME: $*"
  exit 1
}

function GetManagedSystem
{
  typeset LPAR="$*" TESTLPAR= TSYSTEM=
  integer i
  ssh $HMCUSER@$HMC lssyscfg -r sys -F name |
  while read TSYSTEM
  do
    SYSTEM[${#SYSTEM[*]}]="$TSYSTEM"
  done
  (( i = 0 ))
  while (( i < ${#SYSTEM[*]} )); do
    ssh $HMCUSER@$HMC lssyscfg -r lpar -m \"${SYSTEM[i]}\" -F "lpar_id name" |
    while read TESTLPAR
    do
      if [[ $TESTLPAR = $LPAR ]]
      then
        echo "${SYSTEM[i]}"
        return
      fi
    done
    (( i += 1 ))
  done
  echo ""
}

LPAR=$(uname -L)        # ID and name of this partition

# Get name of managed system to which this LPAR belongs
SYSTEM="$(GetManagedSystem "$LPAR")"
[[ $SYSTEM != "" ]] || Die "not able to determine managed system"

echo $SYSTEM

By p5 system name - do you mean the frame that the lpar is on? or do you mean the lpar name?

If you mean the lpar name, then this should get you what you need:

lsrsrc IBM.LPAR

Otherwise I think you will have to use the HMC to get the info you are seeking.

 

[hfaix]

does "prtconf" give you enough?

 

[ogniemi]

I mean the frame/box that the lpar is on...

I would like to know if it is possible to check it from the AIX if I have no HMC connected to the system at the moment.

Then i think what hfaix would be the only thing you can get! prtconf (System Model, Machine Serial Number) but i don't think that you will be able to get the Machine Name as this will have to go thru HMC! I don't think that the LPAR is aware of that!

sbrews when i tried your command, i couldn't get the IBM.LPAR in there!?! is there any thing that i should do before that?

khalidaaa


you didnt drop any letters from the command did you?

lsrsrc IBM.LPAR

works on all of my systems.

 

[khalidaaa]

Oh i'm sorry! i think i was trying lssrc IBM.LPAR!

sorry my mistake!
