Which HMC manages this server?

Question & Answer


Question

Which HMC manages this server?

Answer

In a large environment where you have multiple Power Systems and perhaps hundreds of LPARs, there may be multiple HMCs. When the environment is spread across several sites, it can be a challenge even identifying which HMC to log onto to manage a particular LPAR.

You may ask one of your AIX LPARs by running ‘lsrsrc’ command; however, there must be an active RMC bidirectional connection from both TCP and UDP over port 657 between that LPAR and your HMC.

Log on to the AIX LPAR and run the following command:

# lsrscr IBM.MCP




You can see from the output of the lsrsrc command that this LPAR is being managed by two HMCs and you should be able to log on to either one of them to manage the AIX LPAR.
