If the system (and LPAR) in question has QuestView installed on it, the
WRKVIEWINF utility will display the LPAR. And that much will work even if
the product doesn't have a valid authorization code for that particular
LPAR. I added that capability when we started tying authorization codes to
specific LPARs, so that the user can be sure which LPAR(s) he or she needs
codes for.

So far as I know, there isn't any easy way to find that out from the
command line; there certainly didn't seem to be when I put LPAR display in
WRKVIEWINF.

We also check for, and return, LPAR information when our web-based
installer checks model and serial number.
