Possibility to extract LPM activity from HMC

Our team needs to log all LPM activity on dual-HMC setup to be able to provide proof to Oracle company that the partitions running Oracle have not been moved to another Power frame. We would like to have a log that contains all LPM activity on the HMC.

    .Hi,

    The blog at https://ibm.biz/BdHySn also explains on the logging done when LPM operations are performed and with the rsyslog support on HMC, the logs can be sent to a remote server which could be used to prove that LPM has not be performed.

    The LPM logging was recommended to us by the IBM Oracle license experts in a recent call, even though we would disable LPM for these specific partitions.
    The rationale was that any additional logging wold be helpful as evidence to Oracle that LPM had not been in use for the VMs running Oracle databases.

    Hi,

    There is a new capability which was introduced with HMC V8 R8.4.0 to disable LPM at a partition level which can be used for use cases mentioned in the request. Please read the blog on the same at https://ibm.biz/BdHySn for more details.

    Let us know if the LPM disablement feature solves your purpose. If not, please let us know more details on what enhancement is needed & the use case for the same.

    Thanks.
