How to print a rack config of a HMC managed system

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Stick this in the FAQ if you want:

1)  Download a putty client

2)  Set up the HMC for this.
To enable SSH on the HMC you must do the following: 
Start the ssh daemon: 
Using the HMC system manager GUI, select HMC Management, then HMC 
Configuration.  In the right-hand panel click on "enable or disable remote 
command execution".  Verify the box is checked.  Click ok. 
Enable ssh in the firewall: 
Using the HMC system manager GUI, select HMC Management, then HMC 
Configuration.  In the right-hand panel click on "Customize Network 
Settings".  In the "Customize Network Settings" dialog click the "Lan 
Adapter" tab, select the lan adapter connected to your network (usually 
eth1), click the "Details" button.  On the Details panel, click the 
Firewall tab.  In the top list box click "Secure Shell  22:tcp".  Click 
the "Allow Incoming" button.  CLick ok on each panel to exit.  It will 
tell you that you must reboot but this is not necessary.  Firewall 
settings go into affect immediately.   
Now in putty, verify you used the ssh protocol.  Say yes when it gives you 
a security warning.   
If you still have problems verify that you can ping your HMC.  Verify that 
any firewall between you and the HMC allows port 22. 

3)  Start your putty client to your HMC.  Use the same userid's and 
password you normally use to log on to your HMC.

4)  Enter the first command to get a list of systems managed by this HMC:
 lssyscfg -r sys -F name
Take a name from that list and put it in the double quotes instead of 
sysname:
lshwres -r io --rsubtype slot -m "sysname" -F 
bus_id,phys_loc,vpd_type,description,lpar_name

5)  From your putty client, Copy all to Clipboard.  Paste that into your 
favorite tool like Word, Excel, etc.
