5. Appendix

This section contains information that is referenced from other sections, and that does not really need to be read in sequence.

5.1. Troubleshooting

The zhmcclient Troubleshooting section also applies to the zhmccli project.

There are no additional zhmccli-specific troubleshooting hints at the moment.

5.2. Glossary

This documentation uses a few special terms:

HMC

Hardware Management Console; the node the zhmcclient talks to.

session-id

an opaque string returned by the HMC as the result of a successful logon, for use by subsequent operations instead of credential data. The HMC gives each newly created session-id a lifetime of 10 hours, and expires it after that.
