How to use HMC commands
Partitioning provides users with the ability to configure a single computer into several independent systems.
Each of these systems, called partitions, is capable of running applications in its own independent environment.
This independent environment contains its own operating system, its own set of system processors, its own set
of system memory, and its own I/O adapters.
Here is a brief flow to use HMC commands to manage remote machines:
1. SSH to the HMC machine with hscroot.
2. All commands specific for managing remote machines are available under /opt/hsc/bin.
3. To make a virtual terminal to a remote machine, use the following command:
mkvterm -m cdlf1ler(managed system) -p cdlf1ler01(partition name)
4; To power on a remote machine to Open Firmware, use the following command:
chsysstate -m cdlf1ler -n cdlf1ler01 -r lpar -o on -b of
5. To reboot this HMC machine, use:
hmcshutdown -r
