    Hi,

    I want to find if an AIX machine is LPar or not. I am using lparstat -i command currently but it does not work on all machines. Is there any generic command which can tell me if a machine is LPar or not?

    Please help.

    Thanks,

    Vineet

    I would use this command:

    uname -L

    If the system in an LPAR you will get the string NULL returned for the LPAR name. On a system that is an LPAR you will get the LPAR id and hostname returned.

    
uname -L 1 NULL     # Not an LPAR   uname -L 17 labhost # This is an LPAR
