Entities are specific components of a systems topology and allow you to target different sections of the topology with commands. The system topology is a hierarchical tree with multiple possible nodes for each entity type. For example, there could be many LPAR nodes under their respective CPC nodes. Each system has a unique topology which can be viewed by interacting directly with HiSrv.
One entity can be specified for each entity type and one or more entity types can be provided in ENTITY( ). The order of the entities does not matter and the entity that is the lowest in the topology is assumed to be the target entity. A single entity can be specified if the entity’s name is unique across the entire topology for entities of that type. In the case where a non-unique name is given for an entity, the name of its parent must also be provided for a unique identify.
The entity keyword takes the following form:
ENTITY({TYPE(entity name)} {TYPE(entity name)} ... )
Possible TYPEs are listed:
The highest targetable level in the topology. The parent for this entity type is the root and is never specified.
Used to specify all the machines in a given area. The parent of this entity type is INSTALLATION.
Specifies a specific Central Processing Complex. The parent of this entity type is ENSEMBLE.
Specifies a specific logical partition. The parent of this entity type is CPC.
Specifies a specific Capacity Record. The parent of this entity type is CPC.
This type currently only acts as a parent for the next three entity types. The parent of this entity type is CPC.
Specifies a specific Reset Activation Profile. The parent of this entity type is PROFILES.
Specifies a specific Image Activation Profile. The parent of this entity type is PROFILES.
Specifies a specific Load Activation Profile. The parent of this entity type is PROFILES.
TIMEOUT is an optional keyword that specifies the maximum number of seconds to wait for a single HiSrv request. TIMEOUT is a value from 0 through 21474836. If TIMEOUT is not provided, a default value of 120 seconds is used. If 0 is specified, HiSrv interactions will never timeout.
Note: This value is not the maximum time for the entire HWS command but rather is used separately for each individual call to HiSrv.
Debug is an optional keyword that can be set to either YES or NO. If DEBUG is not specified the value defaults to NO. If a value of YES is provided, more debugging messages are created with the message IDs OPS0349T, OPS1946E, or OPS341S.
