I am trying to gather HMC information.

When I enter the following command it works for some systems but not others. What would be an alternative command that would work on all system versions?

ssh <HMC Name> lssyscfg -r sys

This is the error I am getting:

The command entered is either missing a required parameter or a parameter value is invalid. The required parameters for this command are -r and (-n or --all). Please check your entry and retry the command.

Thanks,

Hi ,
you must specify the managed systems like this :

ssh hscroot@hmc_name lssyscfg -m managed_system -r lpar

or directly from hmc :

lssyscfg -m managed_system -r lpar

bye

I always do it this way:

ssh hscroot@hmc_name "lssyscfg -r sys"

There is one version of the HMC where this doesnot function correctly - If I recall correctly the initial release of 6.1.2. Upgrading the HMC withthe latest 6.1.2 fixes will solve that problem.

The failed message looks like it came from a p4 HMC . Version 3 or less. The p4 HMC needed the --all
You should query the version before you issue the command. lshmc -V

All of the HMC versions going forward V4 + are architected to not break existing command line syntax.
