LPARS, Processor Groups and Serial Numbers

[bvining@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Actually that API does not exist for V5R1 either.  QYLPRLCI, and some
other related ideas, were not done in favor of the QYHCHCOP (Perform
Hardware Configuration Operation) API.  QYHCHCOP allows you to both
retrieve and change configuration information.  The documentation
found at the referenced URL should not be there (and hopefully will
not be there too much longer).

If what you want is the current partition serial number, then one
approach available since V4R4 is the unblocked MI instruction MATMATR
and option 01E0.  This provides the logical serial number of the
current partition.

In V5R1 you could also use QYHCHCOP to access the partition serial
number though this may not be as easy due to this API having quite a
bit of function built into it (that isn't needed in your particular
case) and also being XML based in terms of the API interface (unless
of course you have already worked with XML in other APIs).  This API
can be found in the Configuration category of system APIs under Perform
Hardware Configuration.
