How to determine the Logical partition number

CoolSpools is licensed by LPAR (Logical partition). It is important that the correct LPAR number is provided when purchasing CoolSpools or requesting a license key from Ariadne Software.

How do you determine the Logical Partition number?

If CoolSpools is installed

The simplest method is to use the CoolSpools command DSPPRDINF (Display product information).

The initial screen displays the system information and the status of your CoolSpools licenses.

For example:

                        CoolSpools - Product Information                     
                                                                            
 Product code  . . . . . .   7COOLSP    Version code  . . . . . .   V7R1M0  
 System name . . . . . . .   ARIADNE1   Number of LPARs . . . . .   1       
 System serial number  . .   1234567    Primary LPAR number . . .   1       
 Processor group code  . .   P05        Current LPAR number . . .   1       
                                        Current LPAR name   . . .   12345671
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            
 Product option          License status       Support/maintenance           
 *BASE Base option       Permanent license    Not required                  
   1   Spool converter   Permanent license    No support key saved          
   2   Email             Permanent license    No support key saved          
   3   Spool admin       Permanent license    No support key saved          
   4   Database          Permanent license    No support key saved          
   5   NetServer Toolkit Not required         Not required                  
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            
                                                                            
 F3=Exit   F5=Refresh   F11=Version/PTF information   F12=Cancel            
 F13=Create report      F14=Send report                                   

If CoolSpools is NOT installed

The Logical Partition ID can also be found on the green screen as follows:

You can either:

1. Type GO SERVICE and press Enter.
2. Select Option 6 (Display service registration information).

For example:

                           Service Agent Registration                         
                                                                              
 Machine type . . . . . . . :   9406                                          
 Serial number  . . . . . . :   12-34567                                      
 Logical partition  . . . . :   1                                             
                                                                              
 Registration number  . . . :                    
                                                                              
 Registration key . . . . . :                        
                                                                              
                                      
                                                                                                                                                        
                                                                              
 F6=Print   F12=Cancel       

or, alternatively, use an IBM program:        

1. Enter CALL PGM(QLZARCAPI)

2. The information can be viewed in the job log with DSPJOGLOG.

for example:    

> CALL QLZARCAPI
