IBM P HMC remote console access from CLI – use vtmenu

Probably the default method for access LPAR console , is to use HMC GUI to access windows Console.

But there is a better way. Just enable ssh on the hmc (open by default)

ssh into the HMC using any tool like putty ssh.

once connected to the hmc,

#vtmenu

this will list the available managed systems

select the managed system using it’s number

to exit the LPAR console use tilde followed by dot. ~.

hope this will help
