It's not the best way to do it, but you can reboot it from the HMC.

as on the hmc command line interface, you can use commands like chsysstate as user padmin, on the blade vio

for example:

Code:
chsysstate -o shutdown -r lpar --immed --restart

restarts the lpar immediate

-o can be osshutdown too, for a clean shutdown


unfortunately I can't find the mkvterm command, but it must be possible, since you can run it over the http interface too

So each disk has a copy of the client LV that the client VG supports. This is the setup that was bequeathed to us by the... (3 Replies)
