HMCScanner - a useful tool to complement the System Planning Tool

Documenting a virtual server environment is an absolute necessity these days. The relationships between physical and virtual resources can be very easily confused.
The Hardware Management Console (HMC) has a built in feature to create a System Plan. This tool creates an exportable set of tables that document much of a Power Systems server environment.

Another tool exists on IBM developWorks that does even more. The HMC Scanner is a Java based program that uses secure shell (SSH) to connect to your HMC, scan the server environment, and produce a finished spreadsheet.
The nice thing about this approach is that you can view, modify, and store this data on any device that can read a spreadsheet.
