What is on Your System vs What is Available         

There is a method to review the HMC partition info without logging on to the HMC.                               The MGToolkit must be installed on the system to do this.                                                                      If it is, run the following:                                                                                                                        From a command line: Addlible QMGTOOLS <enter>                                                                      DSPPLTINF - Display Platform Info. <enter>                                                                                           A display like this will be shown (SN's blanked out for security)                                                                                                    

 
                                                                                                                                     
Another way to do this if QMGTOOLS is installed on your system is to run the following:                    From a command line: Addlible QMGTOOLS <enter>                                                                          Go Mg  <enter>                                                                                                                                        That will bring up the main MG Tools menu:                                                                                    Select Option 16: Internals                                                                                                                Select Option 22: Display Platform Information
