Command line HMC command to boot P590 lpar

You can boot an lpar on the P590 which is down ( ie without needing to start the wsm gui ) using the following command :

(And also a lot of other functions - see the man page for chsysstate on the hmc)

Connect (from the menu on cotopaxi/orwell) to the hmc ( this ssh's in as hscroot)

Run :

chsysstate -m -r lpar -o on -n -f
chsysstate -m 9119-590*514736E -r lpar -o on -n Mackinley -f Standard

Notes :

machine name

Is the name of the platform - it will be something like '9119-590*514736E'.
If you run 'lssysconn -r all' on the hmc, it will give you a list of frames it can see

lpar name

Is the name of the lpar to boot - possibly in mixed case - to list the lpars on a machine , run
'lssyscfg -r lpar -m ' on the hmc for the machine you're looking on

profile name

Is the lpar profile to use - our standard is to have one profile called 'Standard' - if you don't know
the profile names then the 'lssyscfg' command above will tell you the default profile name for each lpar
