Trying to use the amount option to unmount one remote NFS mounted directory.
It only allows me to unmount all remote directories via the mount_all: remote option.

How can I just unmount on remote directory?

Thanks

This is my playbook:

• name: Unmount remote filesystems
  ibm.power_aix.mount:
  state: umount
  mount_dir: /mnt

powervm_lpar_instance generates a "EPOW_SUS_CHRP" environmental error in the error log and fails to shut the LPAR down
To Reproduce

Using the YAML playbook below, the LPAR fails to shutdown and the HMC displays a D200A200 reference code.
On invocation of the playbook, the following error is noted in the error log and timeout occurs.
HMC GUI lpar shutdown works without any issues. There are no applications running on the test lpar

Ansible 2.13.3
Python 3.6.8

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to '...'
2. Click on '....'
3. Scroll down to '....'
4. See error

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• HMC: [e.g. V8R870 V9R1M910]
• Python Version [e.g. 3.6 3.7]
• OpenSSH Version [e.g. 1.0.2]

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I would like to have a "hmc scanner" like report in json (facts) from the hmc

Describe the solution you'd like

Either I am missing something but it seems you cannot do

• list all managed systems
• list all lpars of a managed system
  if this works I would be able to

loop every managed system 
  get lpars
    loop  lpar 
      get facts

Describe alternatives you've considered
read hmcscanner xls with a python script

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In our organization we strive to replace passwords with certificate files. The UNIX engineering team responsible for the IBM Power Infrastructure was not very pleased when I asked for a login with username/password to be able use the powervm_lpar_instance module.

Describe the solution you'd like
Instead of providing the parameters username and password for hmc_auth it should be possible to provide the username and the path to a certificate file to be used for login into the HMC.
Example to shutdown an LPAR:

- name: Shutdown a logical partition
  powervm_lpar_instance:
      hmc_host: '{{ inventory_hostname }}'
      hmc_auth:
         username: '{{ ansible_user }}'
         certificate: '{{ path_to_certfile }}'
      system_name: <system_name>
      vm_name: <vm_name>
      action: shutdown

Describe alternatives you've considered
Until the login with a certificate file is possible, we don't have much of an alternative to a login with username/password

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As an admin I have to create, update and delete users on the HMC and manage their SSH-keys.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add an Ansible module to manage users and their keys.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Use the shell module and the following commands to manage users and keys, but this is not preferred.

• chhmcusr
• lshmcusr
• mkhmcusr
• rmhmcusr
• mkauthkeys

Additional context

Expected behavior
Module should not exit with error after HMC is rebooting, should wait until HMC is up and continue witch checks .

Environment (please complete the following information):

• HMC: tested with several versions of HMC code [V9R952, V9R1M910]
• Python 3.7.12
• OpenSSH_8.1p1, OpenSSL 1.0.2u

Yes I understand that it is implicit in the vios command module that the lpar_env should be "vioserver".
But I don't think this should be a failure condition.

However the documentation states:

settings
        To configure various supported attributes of VIOS partition.
        Supports all the attributes available for creation of VIOS on the mksyscfg command.

I would prefer this does not fail in my playbook if it is defined in settings.

Or the documentation should be changed?

example:

ansible localhost -m ibm.power_hmc.vios -a 'hmc_host=myhmc hmc_auth={"username":"hscroot","password":"abcd1234"} system_name=kurtkP8 name=myvios state=present settings={"lpar_env":"vioserver"}'
localhost | FAILED! => {
    "changed": false,
    "msg": "ParameterError: Invalid parameters: lpar_env"
}

from vios.py:

# Collection of attributes not supported by vios partition
not_support_settings = ['lpar_env', ...

Describe the bug
The first partition on any system defined with powervm_lpar_instance claims all I/O slots as required.

To Reproduce

---
- hosts: system_x1
  gather_facts: no
  serial: 1
  collections:
    - ibm.power_hmc
  tasks:
    - name: Create Logical Partition
      powervm_lpar_instance:
        hmc_host: "{{ hostvars['hmc'].ansible_host }}"
        hmc_auth:
          username: "{{ hostvars['hmc'].ansible_user }}"
          password: "{{ hostvars['hmc'].ansible_password }}"
        system_name: "{{ managed_system_name }}"
        vm_name: "{{ inventory_hostname_short }}"
        proc: "{{ proc }}"
        mem: "{{ mem }}"
        os_type: aix
        state: present
      delegate_to: localhost

system_x1 is a group with the hosts as1 and xsp in it. Prior to the playbook run:

hscroot@hmc:~> lssyscfg -r prof -m Server-9040-MR9-SNxxxxxxx -F lpar_name,io_slots
No results were found.

After the playbook run:

hscroot@hmc:~> lssyscfg -r prof -m Server-9040-MR9-SNxxxxxxx -F lpar_name,io_slots
xsp,"21010021/none/1,21010020/none/1,21010040/none/1,21010023/none/1,21020024/none/1,21030025/none/1,21010028/none/1,21010048/none/1,21010011/none/1,21010010/none/1,21010030/none/1,21010013/none/1,21020014/none/1,21030015/none/1,21010018/none/1,21010038/none/1"
as1,none

Expected behavior
Only resources defined in the task should be allocated to the LPAR. There is no way to tell the module which slots to assign, so it should not assign them. I realize that the HMC is "helping" to do this, but the module should either prevent that or allow slot assignments.

Hello this is an role for read fact of lpar that already exist but no NPIV information we be displayed

- name: "loop on lpar inventory"
  collections:
    - ibm.power_hmc
  powervm_lpar_instance:

Describe the bug
Ansible returns unavailable with msg:

msg: 'Failed to create temporary directory.In some cases, you may have been able to authenticate and did not have permissions on the target directory. Consider changing the remote tmp path in ansible.cfg to a path rooted in "/tmp", for more error information use -vvv.

Upon -vvv error observation, the error seems to point to not being able to run sh -c, due to sh not existing in /hmcrbin or /usr/hmcrbin. Symlinking corrects this issue, but will be overridden on the next HMC update.

Additional context
Not sure if the platform-python will execute successfully either.

I've downloaded and install the 1.4.0 collection to try some of the new features.

When I try and run a playbook using the hmc_command module I get a message back saying:

FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "HmcError: Host public key is unknown. sshpass exits without confirming the new key."}

If I attempt to ssh in to the HMC using password or RSA key it works fine.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Do we need to specify a python interpreter version or any other parameters in the inventory hosts file? I am receiving the following error when executing a playbook using the hmc_command module:

TASK [Update customer information ] ***************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [server]: FAILED! => {"ansible_facts": {"discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/bin/python"}, "changed": false, "msg": "HmcError: /bin/sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token )'/bin/sh: -c: line 0: sshpass -p ******** ssh ********@server 'chsacfg -t custinfo -o set -i "admin_company_name=company,admin_name=name,admin_email=email,admin_phone=number,admin_addr=address,admin_city=,admin_country=US,admin_state=state,admin_postal_code=zip,sys_use_admin_info=1"''"}

I have created group in IBM HMC i.e group for PROD servers, group for DR servers and a group for UAT servers.
UAT and PROD servers are in same frames but I want to differentiate that in dynamic inventory. How can I pull/import/filter/group those groups from IBM HMC to dynamic inventory file.
I have tried to define that like other filters: PartitionState or PartitionType but that did not work as it is not pulling/reading from my IBM HMC. I have tried defining like other groups AIX_72 or AIX_71 but that did not help either.
Is this feature already exists ? if it does how can I use that

When running the module "power_lpar_instance" to power down a lpar, I get a HMC login failure. We run ssh keys and have a valid password. Neither allow access to the HMC.
This behaviour does not occur on the "power_lpar_migation".
The ansible server can log into our HMC without any issue. I tested this across 4 HMCs and all four have experienced the same issue.
Unless the documentation is wrong, there appears to be an issue with the authentication section.

Hi!!

I think it is a very good and necessary initiative. Seems that is in very early stage... lots of encouragement!!!!. I dream of being able to run partition mobility tasks and include it in our automated ansible workflow validation for our disaster recovery plan.

Best regards.

It will be very useful to retrieve WWPN of NPIV as facts - for the new created LPAR it will facilitate the provisioning. The WWPN can be then used to generate the host in the storage system and the zones in FC switch. It will result in a full automation of provisioning process.

is a good thing to add capped uncapped mode and uncapped weight for create more complete profile, other issue that i read is for max memory and proc so already submitted by other user.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Adding new disks thu hmc gui is pain in the ass when you have thousends of luns in each vio server as you cant filter or search inside the gui to add disks.

Describe the solution you'd like
if the module would have a option "modify", so we could add disks, network adapters etc. to an existing lpar.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Using a lot of raw commands on VIO servers, HMC and the lpars :(

Additional context
Add a disk still sucks on HMC version 10 and i think even in 10 years it will be the same :(

Thanks,
Carsten

Hi, when using powervm_lpar_instance modules to build a new LPAR profile, the proc_units value is incorrectly checked.

For example on a frame with 1.4 cores available and proc_units: 0.5 and proc: 2 requested in the module, it fails saying please select 1 or less for proc value. If you lower to 1 virtual proc it works.

ibm.power_hmc.powervm_lpar_instance module: Allow Virtual Fibre slot numbers to be specified
When creating virtual Fibre adapters for NPIV, the powervm_lpar_instance module uses the next available slots.
A client has requested that they would like to specify the slot numbers to conform with their existing standards.

Desired solution

1. Allow selection of virtual fibre client adapter slot numbers to a given value.
2. Allow selection of virtual fibre server adapter slot number to either
   a) a given value
   or
   b) the next available number after a starting value.

Client standard procedure dictates that the server slots created would be in a sequential block from a given starting value.
Such that if 3 adapters are requested per VIOS, then the next available block of 3 consecutive numbers would be used after the starting value.

Workaround

Currently the client has created additional virtual fibre adapters with the module to ensure the client slot numbers match their standards, and then created a playbook to remove the unwanted adapters.
Whilst the client slot numbering can conform to their standards with this method, the server slot numbers are in the wrong range and could interfere with their numbering convention for virtual network adapters.

As the selection of a free consecuative block may be tricky to engineer, providing a given slot number is probably a simpler solution.

Hello,
It would be very useful if we could the bootlist of an LPAR/VM before powering it on, with something similar to :

chsyscfg -r lpar -m {{ powervm }} -i "name={{ lparname }},boot_string=\"{{network[0].of_path_name | default ('/vdevice/l-lan@3000000c')}}:speed=auto,duplex=auto,bootp,{{kickstart_server.ip}},,{{ network[0].ip }},{{ network[0].gateway }}\""

Or, may be allow lpar_netboot :

lpar_netboot -f -T off -t ent -s auto -d auto -m mac_address -S serverIP -G gw_IP -C clientIP lpar_name profile mnged_node

Describe the bug

Hi,

Looks like you've copied over the paths (which contains dev-collection) from the other doc sources found within ansible-power.. you'll need to carefully review all source links and modify/confirm they match branches within the hmc collection.

Hello,

Could you add parameter for min/max proc unit and memory to module powervm_lpar_instance
for example :
proc: 1
proc_unit: 0.5
mem: 2048
min_mem: 1024
max_mem: 8196
min_proc: 1
max_proc: 4
min_proc_unit: 0.1
max_proc_unit: 2.0

Regards

As title states, please allow MTMS as system name to be consistent with CLI.

Hello

I'd like to know how to specify the type of shutdown I want to initiate :

• os shutdown
• os shutdown immediate
• immediate
• ...
  I'm not able to find that parameter in the documentation.

Thanks you

Hi there.
Shared Processor Pool is important attribute from licensing point of view for IBMi LPARS
Please can you let me know if this feature is currently available in this module? At a glance I could not see anything related to it.

This will be good to have if it can also be included in the next content release

Kind Regards
Sasi

From HMC Webgui there is the option to load the version from ibmwebsite and install it.
Also the module ibm.power_hmc.firmware_update have this feature.
Would it be possible also do this on HMC update module?

Module: ibm.power_hmc.powervm_lpar_instance
Version: 1.3.0

Issue described in #32 still exists as the current code performs a check that is only valid when creating Dedicated CPU Partitions.

When creating Dedicated CPU LPARs the function "validate_proc_mem" checks the CurrentAvailableSystemProcessorUnits and exits if the number of required processors "proc" is higher.
However, for Shared Processor partitions "proc" is the number of required Virtual processors and "proc_unit" is the number of required processors, but the function still performs the same check (i.e proc >CurrentAvailableSystemProcessorUnits )

e.g:
Available CPUs = 0.3
proc = 1
proc_unit = 0.1

Module will error:

fatal: [hmc10]: FAILED! => changed=false
  msg: 'HmcError: b''Available system proc units is not enough. Provide value on or below 0'''

Looking at the module I see a couple of issues exist.

1. The "validate_proc_mem" function defines a new variable "proc_units" that is never set
Line 371:
def validate_proc_mem(system_dom, proc, mem, proc_units=None):
proc_units is only used in this function and is not set when function is invoked.

Line 750:
validate_proc_mem(server_dom, int(proc), int(mem))
should be something like:
validate_proc_mem(server_dom, int(proc), int(mem), proc_unit)

2. The "validate_proc_mem" function always performs check for sufficient dedicated CPUs
Lines 387-388:

    if proc > int_avail_proc:
        raise HmcError("Available system proc units is not enough. Provide value on or below {0}".format(str(int_avail_proc)))

This test is only valid when creating Dedicated CPU LPARs - not Shared CPU LPARs

Original function:

    371 def validate_proc_mem(system_dom, proc, mem, proc_units=None):
    372
    373     curr_avail_proc_units = system_dom.xpath('//CurrentAvailableSystemProcessorUnits')[0].text
    374     int_avail_proc = int(float(curr_avail_proc_units))
    375
    376     if proc_units:
    377         min_proc_unit_per_virtproc = system_dom.xpath('//MinimumProcessorUnitsPerVirtualProcessor')[0].text
    378         float_min_proc_unit_per_virtproc = float(min_proc_unit_per_virtproc)
    379         if round(float(proc_units) % float_min_proc_unit_per_virtproc, 2) != float_min_proc_unit_per_virtproc:
    380             raise HmcError("Input processor units: {0} must be a multiple of {1}".format(proc_units, min_proc_unit_per_virtproc))
    381
    382     curr_avail_mem = system_dom.xpath('//CurrentAvailableSystemMemory')[0].text
    383     int_avail_mem = int(curr_avail_mem)
    384     curr_avail_lmb = system_dom.xpath('//CurrentLogicalMemoryBlockSize')[0].text
    385     lmb = int(curr_avail_lmb)
    386
    387     if proc > int_avail_proc:
    388         raise HmcError("Available system proc units is not enough. Provide value on or below {0}".format(str(int_avail_proc)))
    389
    390     if mem % lmb > 0:
    391         raise HmcError("Requested mem value not in mutiple of block size:{0}".format(curr_avail_lmb))
    392
    393     if mem > int_avail_mem:
    394         raise HmcError("Available system memory is not enough. Provide value on or below {0}".format(curr_avail_mem))
    395

My solution is a follows:

    371 def validate_proc_mem(system_dom, proc, mem, proc_unit=None):
    372
    373     curr_avail_proc_units = system_dom.xpath('//CurrentAvailableSystemProcessorUnits')[0].text
    374     curr_avail_procs = float(curr_avail_proc_units)
    375     int_avail_proc = int(curr_avail_procs)
    376
    377     if proc_unit:
    378         min_proc_unit_per_virtproc = system_dom.xpath('//MinimumProcessorUnitsPerVirtualProcessor')[0].text
    379         float_min_proc_unit_per_virtproc = float(min_proc_unit_per_virtproc)
    380         if round(float(proc_unit) % float_min_proc_unit_per_virtproc, 2) != float_min_proc_unit_per_virtproc:
    381             raise HmcError("Input processor units: {0} must be a multiple of {1}".format(proc_unit, min_proc_unit_per_virtproc))
    382
    383         if proc_unit > curr_avail_procs:
    384             raise HmcError("{0} Available system proc units is not enough for {1} shared CPUs. Provide value on or below {0}".format(str(curr_avail_procs),str(proc_unit)))
    385
    386     else:
    387         if proc > curr_avail_procs:
    388             raise HmcError("{2} Available system proc units is not enough for {1} dedicated CPUs. Provide value on or below {0} CPUs".format(str(int_avail_proc),str(proc),str(curr_avail_procs)))
    389
    390     curr_avail_mem = system_dom.xpath('//CurrentAvailableSystemMemory')[0].text
    391     int_avail_mem = int(curr_avail_mem)
    392     curr_avail_lmb = system_dom.xpath('//CurrentLogicalMemoryBlockSize')[0].text
    393     lmb = int(curr_avail_lmb)
    394
    395     if mem % lmb > 0:
    396         raise HmcError("Requested mem value not in mutiple of block size:{0}".format(curr_avail_lmb))
    397
    398     if mem > int_avail_mem:
    399         raise HmcError("Available system memory is not enough. Provide value on or below {0}".format(curr_avail_mem))
    400

In my code I have also changed "proc_units" to "proc_unit" for consistency with the rest of the module.
I have also added more detail to the messages to explain the failure.

Example 1. Shared CPU:
Available CPUs = 0.3
proc = 1
proc_unit = 0.5

TASK [Create logical partition] ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [hmc10]: FAILED! => changed=false
  msg: 'HmcError: b''0.3 Available system proc units is not enough for 0.5 shared CPUs. Provide value on or below 0.3'''

Example 2. Dedicated CPU:
Available CPUs = 0.3
proc = 1

TASK [Create logical partition] ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [hmc10]: FAILED! => changed=false
  msg: 'HmcError: b''0.3 Available system proc units is not enough for 1 dedicated CPUs. Provide value on or below 0 CPUs'''

Describe alternatives you've considered
using powervm_lpar_instance on a vio but that does not work

Additional context
Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

When reporting cpu using facts gathered from the hmc we miss vio CPU/memory setting resulting in the belief that there is cpu/memory available for new lpars while those resources are allocated to VIOS.

Describe the bug
Adding the following list as the parameter for physical_io:
- P1-C12
- P1-C4
- P1-C3
- P1-C9
- P1-T4

Results in these "slots" being added to the LPAR:
- P1-C12
- P1-C49
- P1-C3
- P1-C9
- P1-T4

FWIW, C4 is the FC HBA I want to use, and C49 is an internal disk controller (with no attached drives). This is probably just a broken match that isn't anchored at the end of the comparison properly.

Additional context
The managed system is a Power S922 (A-model). A different model of system may not have any locations that are a proper substring of another one.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Most LPARs i have to create have a mirrorred rootvg and at least 2 network interfaces in different vlans. it would be wonderfull if it is possible to add them at creation.

Describe the solution you'd like
For the virtual network interfaces something like a list of dictionaries to configure them

      virt_network_config:
        interface0:
          network_name: VLAN1233-ETHERNET0
          slot_number: 49
        interface1:
          network_name: VLAN1234-ETHERNET0
          slot_number: 50

and same for volume configuration (with name or size)

      volume_config:
        volume0:
          vios_name: zepp31-vios1
          volume_name: hdisk4
        volume1:
          vios_name: zepp31-vios1
          volume_name: hdisk5

Describe alternatives you've considered
Create LPARs with one interface and 1 volume and then use the HMC UI to add other interface + volume.
Takes a lot of time and is slow manualy done :(

Aliases defined in /etc/hosts are not recognized when used in a dynamic inventory source file.

To Reproduce
Create an dynamic inventory source file, with the hostname set to an alias from /etc/hosts. Run ansible-inventory -i <inv_file.power_hmc.yml> --list

WARNING]: Unable to connect to HMC host hmc_prod4: Unknown http error
[WARNING]: * Failed to parse /home/e6094159gx/tio_opensystems_aix/inventory_hmc.power_hmc.yml with auto plugin: There are no systems defined to any valid HMCs provided or no valid
connections were established.

Expected behavior
Aliases should be followed and FQDN should not be required.

Ansible/System info

ansible 2.9.6
python version = 3.6.8

I'll take a look at this..

Describe the bug
When gathering facts of an HMC I have added the not running lpars. I assumed that even if the lpar is powered off the SystemName of where the lpar is would be added

plugin: ibm.power_hmc.powervm_inventory
hmc_hosts:
  - hmc: "xxx"
    user: "xxx"
    password: "xxx"
identify_unknown_by: PartitionName
compose:
  server_name: SystemName
keyed_groups:
  - prefix: "server_group"
    key: SystemName
  - prefix: "partition_type"
    key: PartitionType

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to '...'
2. Click on '....'
3. Scroll down to '....'
4. See error

Expected behavior
SystemName should be available even if the lpar is powered off

Additional context

For reporting purposes I am gathering facts of the lpars via the HMC. I would suspect that gathering fact of an powered off system should work yet it needs the SystemName and that is not inserted into the inventory test

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
powervm_lpar_instance is so very close to being what I need.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be extremely helpful if the module would allow assigning I/O slots when defining a partition. It would be great if they could be specified with full or partial (but unique) location codes. For example, if there is only one drawer in the system, we could avoid specifying the part of the location before the first '-', which identifies the drawer by serial.

Please do the DRC_index lookups in the module, as most mortals don't use them regularly.

If I still have to do the lookups for the first part of the DRC_slot_name it would still be much better than having to assign the slot myself later.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I am currently interacting with the HMC via the raw module, doing the text processing necessary to convert locations to DRC_index values with Jinja2, and then updating the partition profile to contain only the slots I need with raw again. This is a ball of ugly: more than half of the playbook is is dealing with slot assignments, and the Ansible facilities available for error checking with raw are less than elegant.

Hello the new method to deploy lpars is vNIC.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to have a vNIC Lpar with multiple backing adapters.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

Running the module ibm.power_hmc.powervm_lpar_instance with action: install_os is not able to get pingable virtual ethernet adapter.
Manual attempt from SMS menu does ping the nim server.

The issue is, that in fetchIODetailsForNetboot in plugins/module_utils/hmc_resource.py that calls lpar_netboot, the -K netmask parameter is missing and an attempt to ping the nim server fails.
In order to resolve it I added
self.OPT['LPAR_NETBOOT']['-K'] + submask +
in the function, expanded input parameters of the functions to include netmask and fixed calling of this function in power_hmc/plugins/modules/powervm_lpar_instance.py to include netmask

To Reproduce
ibm.power_hmc.powervm_lpar_instance:
hmc_auth:
username: xxx
password: yyy
hmc_host: hmc
action: install_os
install_settings:
vm_ip: 192.168.0.64
nim_ip: 192.168.0.9
nim_gateway: 192.168.0.1
nim_subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
vm_name: "{{lparname}}"
system_name: "{{servername}}"

Expected behavior
installing OS from nim

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add a task "ibm.power_hmc.powervm_dlpar" to your playbook
2. Run the playbook
3. Run the playbook again
4. See "changed" as result, but there was nothing changed

Expected behavior
The result should show "changed" only when changes are made. Otherwise it would be great to get "ok" as result.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• HMC: V10R2.1041.0
• Python Version: 3.9.16
• Ansible Collection: 1.8.1

Hello

1. Can we specify the LPAR ID when deploying virtual machines?
2. Can we specify vFC client/server adapter slot numbers?

I had look but could not find a option. Please can you let me if this feature is available in this module

Kind Regards
Sasi

Hi,

I'm using the following playbook :

• hosts: "{{ groups['hmc'][0] }}"
  tasks:
  • name: reboot lpar
    ibm.power_hmc.powervm_lpar_instance:
    hmc_host: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
    hmc_auth:
    username: "ansusr"
    password: "{{ acompw }}"
    system_name: uxauray01
    vm_name: admin-xt02-lp
    action: restart

"ansusr" is our Ansible user and has been created on the HMCs. I verified and can login with keys (passwordless) or with password from our Ansible controller to all HMCs by command line without issues. Yet the collection (Version 1.4) is returning "Logon to HMC failed" when i run the playbook... What can be causing this ? What am i missing here ? lxml has been installed by pip on the controller and Python version currently is at 3.7.11.
Debug output is :

msg: Logon to HMC failed

I'd like to pass HMC commands via SSH through ansible out to multiple HMCs. Can we have a module/plugin created for hmc_cli

Example:
Run 'chsacfg -t custinfo -o set' to update customer information

The DLPARing operation for cpu and mem requires "update_proc_mem" and the documentation shows "update", which isn't working.

Upgrade/Update ioslevel on an IBM POWER VIO server

An ansible module to upgrade the VIO Server version

Using localised scripts, commands, mostly a manual process to perform the VIOS upgrade/update

While there is an ansible module available as part of this POWER_HMC collection to install VIOS, I don't find a module to be used to perform upgrade/update the existing VIO server, upgrade of the existing VIO servers is a more frequent requirement than installing fresh VIOs, Kindly look into this requirement to accomplish the VIOS upgrade using an ansible module.

Additional context

Can I use the lpar module to change the default profile of an lpar? For example when updating an AIX server I would like to change the Processor compatibility mode and make sure it is at POWER8. Thank you very much for your contribution to Ansible :)
