Starting an LPAR from command line

If you need to poweroff or poweron an LPAR remotely, you can do it with command lines.

Get the managed system name and object (lpar) name using lslpars and run:

chsysstate -r lpar -n lpar_name -m managed_system_name -o on

Common states are:

• on – to perform a power on or activation of a partition
• off – to perform a power off of a managed system or hard reset of a partition
• osreset – to reset the operating system on the partition
• osshutdown – to shutdown the operating system on the partition
• reset – to perform a soft reset of a partition
