Connecting to an LPAR is always done via the HMC (Hardware Management Console). You can think of the HMC as a control console for creating, modifying, and accessing all the resources on all the machines connected to it. It has a web interface and an ssh shell.
The hostname for the OSL HMC is oslhmc.osuosl.bak (10.1.0.50) and requires access via our VPN.
chsysstate -r lpar -o on -b norm -f Default -m powerdev1 -n chinook.fedora
Some notable options (these carry on to other commands with chsysstate):
-f Default” – name of the profile to use, typically named Default.
-m powerdev1” – name of the machine the LPAR is on
-n chinook.fedora” – name of the LPAR
# Graceful shutdown chsysstate -o shutdown --immed -r lpar -m powerdev1 -n chinook.fedora # Immediate shutdown (no waiting from OS) chsysstate -o shutdown --immed -r lpar -m powerdev1 -n chinook.fedora # Restart chsysstate -o shutdown -r lpar --immed -m powerdev1 -n chinook.fedora # Immediate restart (no waiting from OS) chsysstate -o shutdown -r lpar --immed --restart -m powerdev1 -n chinook.fedora
# connect to console mkvterm -m powerdev1 -p chinook.fedora # close an open console session rmvterm -m powerdev1 -p chinook.fedora
The escape code is unfortunately ~. although you can escape it and not kill you connection by doing ~~.
$ ssh username@oslhmc.osuosl.bak $ mkauthkeys --add "key string"
To add it to a specific user:
$ ssh osuadmin@oslhmc.osuosl.bak $ mkauthkeys -u userid --add "key string"
