Hi there,

I'm asking for some help, because I'm trying to gather information about my LPARs currently running.
I've found how to get minimum / desired / maximum CPU & memory, type of LPAR's, etc, etc...

But now, I need a critical information, which is the IP address of each LPAR. I know that I can get it by manually login on the desired LPAR (using a virtual terminal, for example) and watching for the IP configuration, but this is not what I aimed for.

I need a shell command to get this information from the HMC, for a specific LPAR.

I'm currently doing a lots of research on the subject and can't find anything...

Is someone has a solution ?

Many thanks for you help.

If you have ssh installed you can bypass the hmc and run a command like:
ssh <hostname> "ifconfig -a"

The info that you are looking for regarding the contents of an LPAR are not available via the HMC. This is a deliberate policy to ensure that different security domains in the one server can not use the HMC to circumvent the security.

The correct place to put this sort of tooling would be on your NIM server.

hmc shell command:
lspartition -dlpar
Shows partition number, fully qualified domain name, ip address, active state and operating system of all managed lpars that have a public ethernet connection from the hmc to the lpar.

Hi there,

Thanks duke !

An AIX guru told me yesterday to use this command and it perfectly works !

I did some research but wasn't able to find "IBM official" documentation on this command (even in the HMC command index Redbook, this command is not mentionned).

But this one is doing exactly what I need for my script

Thanks again
