I've got similar problems with other commands

pls verify environment variable SHELL

$ echo $SHELL
/bin/hmcbash <__or__> bin/bash

hmcbash is very restricted

Access per root to HMC seems to be not allowed

I haven't any idea how to get ride of them

Anyone other ... ?

You don't get access to root on the HMC with out IBM support. There is a root password which depends on the serial number of the machine and also the date and time of day. You will have to call IBM support to have them give you a root password which will only work for one or two days.

You can't edit the /etc/hosts file on HMCs like you can on a normal unix box. Check the man page for chhmc. I think there is a way to add aliases. Will check this out tomorrow and let you know how it's done (if at all possible).

The HMC is based on linux but cannot be used as, or like, a UNIX machine, you only have a restricted shell.
You do not need to add your managed systems to /etc/hosts.

To add a managed system, select the Server Management bar and choose Add
Managed System(s)

hmc

HMC is a closed box. It basically runs linux. You can only do what the HMC allows you to do. However, you can break out of the 'normal' shell and get real root access for the HMC. But I dont recall how to do it, its been a while, but it is some sort of control sequence.....but I must also warn you that in doing so, you invalidate your support for the HMC....even though you want to, best practice is to just leave it alone.
