To obtain full shell access to a Hardware Management Console (HMC):
pesh serial-number-of-HMC-machine

To obtain full shell access to a virtual HMC:
pesh unique-ID-of-virtual-HMC

pesh provides full shell access to the HMC for product engineering and support personnel. pesh takes the serial number of the HMC machine or unique ID of the virtual HMC where full shell access is requested, then prompts the user for a one day password obtained from the support organization. If the password is valid, the user is granted full shell access. Only the hscpe user can run this command.

On an HMC machine, run the lshmc -v command to list the Vital Product Data (VPD) information:

lshmc -v
