Alan, I did try -r P0012345-CCPUC-LX2 and it still treats the first dash as a line break but treated the second dash as part of the string. The response is two lines: Given LPAR name P0012345 CCPUC-LX2 does not exist on nn.nn.nn.nn
Thanks for your help in contacting the snIPL group.

That is, the image name can be prefixed by the server (CPC) name followed by a dash. This doesn't work so well when the LPAR name contains a dash, eh? :-) So, snipl sees CCPUC-LX2 and assumes it is image LX2 on server CCPUC, overriding the associated server obtained from the config file (I think). So try something along the lines of "P0012345-CCPUC-LX2". The Right People have been found (from the source code, I might add!) and notified.
