The LPAR name may be changed after the LPAR has been started in the HMC.
In that case lparstat command is not reporting the updated value because it
reads it from the device tree which is read at boot time.

Could lparstat be changed to make the appropriate get-system-parameter
call via librtas, avoiding a kernel change?

You're right, I could do that directly in lparstat without changes in the
kernel.

Thanks,
