Scripts to web publish HMC managed systems configs

2 Quick scripts (shell & expect) to grab configs off HMCs for managed IBM POWER(aix/linux/vio)systems and format them into a html web page.

Will work where no ssh trust exists (ie Where you cant run mkauthkeys -u lpar2rrd -a 'ssh-dss ....' as hscroot)
If ssh trust exists then the script does not need the hmccli expect script

Script renders HTML to stdout so just redirect eg ./$0 > index.htm



Here is an expect script hmccli that it can call

HMCs for power7

IBM pSeries power7 hardware needs at least a CR3 HMC . CR5 (7042-CR5) is recommended - because it the most expensive?? - IBMs job (like almost all company's) is to make money - consulting, systems and software are just the tools to do that job

7.3.5.0 is as far as CR2's can go
7.710 is what you need to manage power7
