I had a very bad experience with a server partitioned with IVM, so running VIO natively and the user LPARs as guests. It all worked fine until we set up an HMC to manage it instead. If you have the option, go HMC first, or better still remote-redundant HMCs, so you have management from a remote site if you need it. Consider if you have a shutdown and your local HMC does not fire up, how would you start your server, the VIO servers and the user LPARs?
VIO servers can be great if used for the right purpose, i.e. sharing hardware and reducing the likelihood that a single failure will stop your operation. Others like plain LPARs based on available hardware. They may be slightly faster, but they are constrained by the physical configuration and resources may be allocated on a per-controller basis making it a little more difficult.

I am trying to run the lscod command against an HMC that has managed system names with spaces.
Tried enclosing the managed system names in quotes; single and double.
How do I get the command to run?

so i would like to know if i must use the console to do it or i can do all from the up&running system on LPAR.

roar_vs_connection_obj(3) RoarAudio Programmer's Manual roar_vs_connection_obj(3)
NAME
roar_vs_connection_obj, roar_vs_stream_obj, roar_vs_vio_obj - VS API interface for use of main API
SYNOPSIS
#include <roaraudio.h>
struct roar_connection * roar_vs_connection_obj(roar_vs_t * vss, int * error);
struct roar_stream * roar_vs_stream_obj (roar_vs_t * vss, int * error);
struct roar_vio_calls * roar_vs_vio_obj (roar_vs_t * vss, int * error);
DESCRIPTION
Those functions return internal connection, stream and VIO object of the VS object. They are used to use the main API with a VS opened
stream.
roar_vs_connection_obj() returns the connection object used for the control connection to the server.
roar_vs_stream_obj() returns the stream object storing information about the stream.
roar_vs_vio_obj() returns the VIO object used to read data from or send data to the server.
Returned objects are freed as soon as the VS object is closed. If the VS object was created using roar_vs_new_from_con(3) the connection is
not closed by the VS object and stay valid after close until it is closed by the program or library.
The VIO object MUST NOT be used while in buffered mode.
PARAMETERS
vss The VS object to return internal objects from.
error This is a pointer to a integer used to store the error value in case of error. This can be NULL if not used but it is very recom-
mended to use this error value to report good error messages to the user.
RETURN VALUE
On success these calls return the described object. On error, NULL is returned.
EXAMPLES
