    I run scripts against lists of systems. I need ways to identify system types.
    I'm currently using uname -W to identify lpar clients and lswpar to identify servers.
    Is there a way of identifying the wpar server lpar from the client?
    Thanks, Simon

    I can't find an online reference and don't have my notes with me but I believe there is a shell variable $GLOBAL that is set to be the hostname
    of the GLOBAL AIX LPAR where the WPAR resides. So if you "echo $GLOBAL" in a WPAR you should get results but if you do it in regular
    LPAR you won't.

    uname -L on the client returns the lpar name and number of the host... but that's no help because other than being sensible, there's no rule that the host name has to match the lpar name.

    The 'last' command will show the hosting lpar if someone logged into the client console from the hosting wpar using clogin, but obviously, that is not reliable.
