474 Logical Partitions on System i5

HMC CLI introduction

The primary intention of the HMC CLI (Command Line Interface) is for the creation of scripts

to automate the management of partition profiles. For example, a script could move

processing resources into a partition for nightly batch processing and move those resources

back before the start of daily operations in the morning.

HMC command naming convention

HMC commands are named following the UNIX naming convention for commands. In

particular:

򐂰 mk is used for create/make actions.

򐂰 ls is used for list/query actions.

򐂰 ch is used for change/modify actions.

򐂰 rm is used for remove/delete actions.

Table A-1 shows the correlation between OS/400 command verbs, like DSP for display, and

their UNIX counterparts.

Commands follow the form of verb plus an abbreviated name of the object on which the

operation will be performed.
