I have login into a server, and when i launch this command uname -L.
I can see there is a LPAR.
But is there anymore commands i can use to get more information on the LPAR ?
like it is VIO ?
wat the IP address ?
etc, etc.
please help. Thank you.

There is plenty commands for different infos.
If you are on a VIO you can try something like
ioslevel (as padmin)
/usr/ios/cli/ioscli ioslevel (as root)
to see what current level this VIO has - if it is no VIO, you will get some message that tells you that this command can't be found.
On a normal AIX LPAR you can use oslevel -s instead.
For more info you can use commands like lsconf/prtconf, lparstat -i, lsdev . To get info about IP-Adresses you can try ifconfig -a .
There is plenty more information one can list but you have to be more precise in what you are looking for and you should read some administration handbooks/Redbooks to get familiar with AIX.
Hi Zaxxon,
The problem is how to get into the VIO ?
You log into a VIO with "padmin".
Hi Zaxxon,
thank you for replying, you say login into the VIO. does that mean we can just telnet to the IP adress ?
the issue is how to check the IP for the VIO ?

it is possible to check if the LPAR is up and running or not ?

Can anyone tell me anythng about this server, from the IBM website, it shows this is a dedicated LPAR.
How you are logging to that server without IP? do you have HMC?
Just seeing the hostname i am quite sure it is not a VIO..
have you checked prtconf ?
lsdev -Cc disk
I am a bit puzzled like gito - if you don't know the IP of your system (which is rather strange if it is your environment), open up a terminal from your HMC as gito implied.
Per default there is no sshd running on VIO - so try to connect via telnet. Sorry but why do you ask this and just do not try it out if telnet or ssh is responding???
About the listing: What exactly do you want to know?
hi,
Through VIO u cant say that whether an LPAR is running or not.
without IP u cant telnet any partition whether it is an VIO or an LPAR.
just login to the HMC and select the VIO partition,just click open terminal.you will have an
terminal...
