    Allow VIOS/Novalink as proxy for RMC connection (auto-discovery?)

    In our case the HMC does not have an RMC connection to the AIX and Linux LPARs due to our networking setup; it DOES have an RMC connection to the Virtual I/O Servers, which in turn have an RMC connection to Novalink, which acts as the managing ins...

    Add a flag to HMC CLI commands to display attribute names inline with attributes when using -F filter on atributes (similiar to --header)

    When scripting on HMC CLI you have basically two options for filtering attributes. For example 1. lshmcusr | grep $USER name=dummy,taskrole=hmcoperator,description='Dummy User',pwage=30,resourcerole=ALL:,authentication_type=local,remote_webui_acce...
