    lssyscfg -r lpar -m $MYMGRSYS -F name:lpar_id:lpar_env:os_version
    LPAR01:6:aixlinux:AIX 5.3 5300-10-02-0943
    LPAR02:5:aixlinux:Unknown

    Does anyone know why LPAR2 returns Unknown for os_version ?

    NOTE: LPAR02 is running AIX 5.3 5300-10-02-0943

    Probably due to RMC (Resource Monitoring & Control) not being "properly" set up between LPAR2 & your HMC. a.k.a. usually something in your network (or network design) isn't quite right.

    Some things you might look for:

    • firewalls blocking the RMC ports
    • mis-configured EN interfaces or VLANs
    • no routes between the HMC public network and the LPAR in question

    According the items indicated

    • There aren't any firewall between HMC and LPAR2 (I can estabilish a telnet conection over 657 port)

    For this reason I believe there aren't any problem with device configuration or table of routes.

    After running command /usr/sbin/rsct/install/bin/recfgct I've got this situation

    1. lsrsrc IBM.ManagementServer;lssrc -a|grep rsct
    Resource Persistent Attributes for IBM.ManagementServer
    resource 1:
    Name = "MY_HMC_IP"
    Hostname = "MY_HMC_IP"
    ManagerType = "HMC"
    LocalHostname = "MY_LPAR02_IP"
    ClusterTM = "9078-160"
    ClusterSNum = ""
    ActivePeerDomain = ""
    NodeNameList = {"MY_LPAR02_HOSTNAME"}
    ctrmc rsct 1019966 active
    IBM.CSMAgentRM rsct_rm 696568 active
    IBM.ServiceRM rsct_rm 983106 active
    ctcas rsct inoperative
    IBM.AuditRM rsct_rm inoperative
    IBM.ERRM rsct_rm inoperative
    IBM.LPRM rsct_rm inoperative
    IBM.HostRM rsct_rm inoperative

    So, IBM.DRM still not workink...

    Anyway, this checklist is a little dated but it may help you further isolate things:

    Well, almost 6 years later, I had the same problem today despite my network being set up correctly..... probably triggered via a clone I did.

    RMC & DLPAR worked a-ok on this newly cloned LPAR, but the OS Version was not displaying on the HMC..... aka showed as --> Unknown

    These commands, resolved it:

    • /usr/sbin/rsct/bin/rmcctrl -z       # stops the rmc daemons
    • /usr/sbin/rsct/install/bin/recfgct  # reconfigures rmc & re-starts the daemons
