By using the “-v” option, the LPAR tool allows for a function to display, what exactly this function would perform in terms of commands on one or more HMCs, without actually executing the commands. The commands are displayed, but no commands that make a change are executed. E.g.:

$ lpar -v status aixnim
hmc02: lssyscfg -r lpar -m s822
hmc02: lshwres -r mem -m s822 --level lpar
hmc02: lshwres -r proc -m s822 --level lpar
$
