Check the Physical adapters and resources of managed systems from the HMC

How to check how many adapters are connected and plugged-into a physical machine that is connected to the HMC!

The simple and the short answer is to check it from the HMC GUI interface!

But,let`s say the Network/Security guy unintentionally closed the ports that let you to access the HMC GUI and did not close the SSH port.If so,then no worries ,You still could accomplish the task and check the physical adapters!

Furthermore,If you would like to document the physical resources of your environment,you have 2 options: 
1)check the the managed systems propters from the HMC GUI intrface (consumes time)
2)run a simple command line and accomplish the task in a few sec ;-)

Before telling you about the command ,let me remind you about another command that you need to get the name of the managed system(physical machines):

#lssyscfg -r sys -F name:serial_num:state
The above command directly and clearly gives you the name of the managed systems! 


After you get he name of the managed systems,you are ready to fire away:

#lshwres -r io -m Power720 --rsubtype slot -F lpar_name:drc_name:description    

Note: Power720 is the name of the managed system! 


The next 2 screenshots prove that the output from the HMC GUI is the same like the output from the HMC CLI.
