zhmc_partition_list – List partitions

Synopsis

  • List partitions on a specific CPC (Z system) or on all managed CPCs.

  • CPCs in classic mode are ignored (i.e. do not lead to a failure).

  • Partitions for which the user has no object access permission are ignored (i.e. do not lead to a failure).

  • The module works for any HMC version. On HMCs with version 2.14.0 or higher, the “List Permitted Partitions” opration is used. On older HMCs, the managed CPCs are listed and the partitions on each CPC.

Requirements

  • The HMC userid must have object-access permissions to these objects: Target partitions, CPCs of target partitions (only for z13 and older).

Parameters

hmc_host

The hostname or IP address of the HMC.

required: True
type: str
hmc_auth

The authentication credentials for the HMC.

required: True
type: dict
userid

The userid (username) for authenticating with the HMC. This is mutually exclusive with providing session_id.

required: False
type: str
password

The password for authenticating with the HMC. This is mutually exclusive with providing session_id.

required: False
type: str
session_id

HMC session ID to be used. This is mutually exclusive with providing userid and password and can be created as described in zhmc_session – Manage HMC sessions across tasks.

required: False
type: str
ca_certs

Path name of certificate file or certificate directory to be used for verifying the HMC certificate. If null (default), the path name in the ‘REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE’ environment variable or the path name in the ‘CURL_CA_BUNDLE’ environment variable is used, or if neither of these variables is set, the certificates in the Mozilla CA Certificate List provided by the ‘certifi’ Python package are used for verifying the HMC certificate.

required: False
type: str
verify

If True (default), verify the HMC certificate as specified in the ca_certs parameter. If False, ignore what is specified in the ca_certs parameter and do not verify the HMC certificate.

required: False
type: bool
default: True
cpc_name

Name of the CPC for which the partitions are to be listed.

Default: All managed CPCs.

required: False
type: str
log_file

File path of a log file to which the logic flow of this module as well as interactions with the HMC are logged. If null, logging will be propagated to the Python root logger.

required: False
type: str
