Viewing system event logs for the Live Partition Mobility disable operation

Any changes that are made to the Disable Migration option provided by the Hardware Management Console (HMC) is logged as a system event, and can be checked for auditing purposes. A system event is also logged when the remote restart or simplified remote restart capability is set. The system event logs are read only and cannot be modified.

A system event is logged when the following actions occur:
  • The remote restart, simplified remote restart, or Live Partition Mobility attributes are set during creation of a logical partition.
  • The remote restart, simplified remote restart, or Live Partition Mobility attributes are changed.
  • When you restore profile data. For more information about restoring profile data, see Restoring profile data.

You can view the system events by running the lssvcevents command from the HMC command-line interface. You can also view the system events by using the graphical user interface (GUI). For more information about using the GUI, see Console Events Logs. By running the chhmc command from the HMC command-line interface, these system events can also be sent to a remote server that is on the same network as the HMC.

The following system events can be logged:
Table 1. Event ID and the corresponding message string
Event ID Event message String
2420 User name {0}: Disabled partition migration for partition {1} with ID {2} on managed system {3} with MTMS{4}
2421 User name {0}: Enabled partition migration for partition {1} with ID {2} on managed system {3} with MTMS{4}
2422 User name {0}: Disabled Simplified Remote Restart for partition {1} with ID {2} on managed system {3} with MTMS{4}
2423 User name {0}: Enabled Simplified Remote Restart for partition {1} with ID {2} on managed system {3} with MTMS{4}
2424 User name {0}: Disabled Remote Restart for partition {1} with ID {2} on managed system {3} with MTMS{4}
2425 User name {0}: Enabled Remote Restart for partition {1} with ID {2} on managed system {3} with MTMS{4}
The following are examples of System Events:
  • Command to check which logical partitions managed by an HMC have the Live Partition Mobility feature disabled or enabled:
    lssvcevents -t console | grep vclient
    The following examples show a sample output of the lssvcevents command:
    time=10/30/2015 10:11:32,text=HSCE2521 UserName hscroot: Enabled partition migration for partition 
vclient10 with Id 10 on Managed system ct05 with MTMS 8205-E6D*1234567.
    time=10/30/2015 10:01:35,text=HSCE2520 UserName hscroot: Disabled partition migration for partition
vclient9 with Id 9 on Managed system ct05 with MTMS 8205-E6D*1234567.
  • Command to check which logical partitions managed by an HMC have the Live Partition Mobility feature disabled:
    lssvcevents -t console | grep HSCE2520
    The following example shows a sample output of the lssvcevents command:
    time=10/30/2015 10:01:35,text=HSCE2520 UserName hscroot: Disabled partition migration for partition
vclient9 with Id 9 on Managed system ct05 with MTMS 8205-E6D*1234567.
  • Command to check which logical partitions managed by an HMC have the Live Partition Mobility feature disabled or enabled for a particular system (1234567):
    lssvcevents -t console | grep  "partition migration for partition" | grep 1234567
    The following examples show a sample output of the lssvcevents command:
    time=10/30/2015 10:11:32,text=HSCE2521 UserName hscroot:  Enabled partition migration for partition
vclient10 with Id 10 on Managed system ct05 with MTMS 8205-E6D*1234567.
    time=10/30/2015 10:01:35,text=HSCE2520 UserName hscroot: Disabled partition migration for partition
vclient9 with Id 9 on Managed system ct05 with MTMS 8205-E6D*1234567.
  • Command to check whether a specific logical partition (vclient9) in a specific system (1234567) managed by an HMC has the Live Partition Mobility feature disabled or enabled:
    lssvcevents -t console | grep  "partition migration for partition vclient9" | grep 1234567
    The following example shows a sample output of the lssvcevents command:
    time=10/30/2015 10:01:35,text=HSCE2520 UserName hscroot: Disabled partition migration for partition
vclient9 with Id 9 on Managed system ct05 with MTMS 8205-E6D*1234567
