Reboot LPAR by using HMC CLI
Then you connect to HMC via putty. Regular ssh connection! Your user must have admin privileges!
Today I have situation not be able to connect to HMC via web application and LPAR pagging memory was very, very low so LPAR stop responding. I needed to reboot it! How to do that in HMC cli?
There are two things that you need to know. You need to know machine name where LPAR is located and LPAR name.
#:lssyscfg -r sys -F name:state
MACHINE1:Running
MACHINE2:Running
Ok, so we have two machines.
#:lssyscfg -m MACHINE_NAME1 -r lpar -F name:state
LPAR1:Running
LPAR2:Running
Ok, now we have LPAR names on machine.
In case you need to restart imediateally LPAR1 on MACHINE1 here is commad
chsysstate -r lpar -m MACHINE1 -o shutdown --immed --restart -n LPAR1
