Hello:
Unfortunately I am no expert in LPAR or HMC as of yet. I have inherited an problem. A company several months ago set up a HMC with 3 LPARs all working well, and I went to long into the HMC in order to reboot a system and I found that the 3 LPARS that were there are gone.

Under system management I see where they should be, and one item with a networking IP of 9. something (sorry this is a remote site).

The systems are up and running however I can not see them via HMC.
Is there a way to simply check or re-claim this LPAR profile?

Far as I can see the HMC cable is in there, and not been disconnected and I dont suspect anyone has been in there since they would not know what to do. I can log in to the HMC, but I am clueless what I can do to get them back.

thanks for any help.

Have you tried to Rebuild the Managed system?

Select the managed system you'd like
click on selected in the menu
Click Rebuild Managed System.

(I assume you've already tried rebooting the HMC)

Actually I just fixed it, leared some new commands as well.

I dont know what happend, but it seems the en0 address was goofed up,
where it had been set to a dhcp range and when i check it it was off,
it seemed the network it was on was out of wack.

One I put dhcp back, and in the correct range and rebooted everything came back.

thanks for the information i will also keep this in mind
