Re: Communicating with HMC, Was: Power Handling program?

I am trying to communicate with the HMC. I am making good progress. I
can now do:
QSH CMD('ssh -T hscroot@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx lssyscfg -r lpar -m RACK2
--filter "lpar_names=RACK2HST" -F name,lpar_id,state')
and I get:
RACK2HST,3,Running
Press ENTER to end terminal session.

But when I try more lpar names I get:
QSH CMD('ssh -T hscroot@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx lssyscfg -r lpar -m RACK2
--filter "lpar_names=RACK2HST,GDWEB2" -F name,lpar_id,state')
The command entered has a malformed filter. The --filter parameter has
the f
orm "<filter name 1>=<value>,<filter name 2>=<value>,..." or ""<filter
name 1

=<value 1>,<value 2>,...",..." . Please correct the filter and retry the

co
mmand. Note that depending on the shell being used, any nested double
quote
characters may need to be preceded by an escape character, which is
usually a
'\' character.
Press ENTER to end terminal session.

I got the same error with:
QSH CMD('ssh -T hscroot@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx lssyscfg -r lpar -m RACK2
--filter \""lpar_names=RACK2HST,GDWEB2,GDIHQ2,GDISYS2,MAILTWO\"" -F
name,lpar_id,state')

From the command line specifications available at:

https://www-304.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/hmcl/resources.html

List the partitions lpar1, lpar2, and lpar3:
lssyscfg -r lpar -m system1 --filter ""lpar_names=lpar1,
lpar2,lpar3""

List only the names, IDs, and states of partitions lpar1, lpar2, and
lpar3, and separate the output values with
a comma:
lssyscfg -r lpar -m system1 --filter ""lpar_names=lpar1,
lpar2,lpar3"" -F name,lpar_id,state

This works:
lssyscfg -r lpar -m RACK2 -F name,lpar_id,state
