That's what I get for replying before coffee!
uname -L prints the LPAR number and the LPAR name as visible on the
HMC.
You can use lsconf or 'lsattr -El sys0' to get the serial number, but
Nigel is right, I've never found a way to show the name of the
physical system from the AIX LPAR.
I thought that was just a comment field on the HMC. Everything uses
serial numbers...

Hi,
Let me spell it out - if that was easy, it would have been in the above comments.
The answer is you can't do that.
The problem is the LPAR does not care what name is used on the HMC for this server.
The Server name can only be used by HMC command and seen on the HMC GUI.
The best answer on AIX
- Find out the serial number of the server.
- lsconf is a quick way of doing that and whole lot more useful information.
- Then go to the HMC, list the systems and find the "Serial number" and matching "System name",
Good luck.
