Re: Andible on HMC

[Amaljith PM <amaljithh@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Yes that's exactly what I'm trying to do with ansible. Ansible runs on
another machine and it does ssh to HMC and perform it's scripts.

And yes I'm relatively new to this platform. I came across this module
called 'powervm_lpar_instance' which can perform a variety of functions.

I'm trying to create a partition with this module, it needs parameters
system_name and vm_name. I learned that system name is the partition name,
but not sure what vm name means.

Regards,
Amaljith PM
