You use the lscfg command to display the name, location, and description of each device found in the current configuration. The list is sorted by device location.
For example, to list the devices configured in your system, at the prompt, enter:
lscfg
The system displays a message similar to the following:
INSTALLED RESOURCE LIST The following resources are installed on your machine. +/- = Added/Deleted from Diagnostic Test List. * = NOT Supported by Diagnostics. + sysplanar0 00-00 CPU Planar + fpa0 00-00 Floating Point Processor + mem0 00-0A Memory Card + mem1 00-0B Memory Card + ioplanar0 00-00 I/O Planar * f2bus0 00-00 Micro Channel Bus + rs2320 00-01 RS232 Card + tty0 00-01-0-01 RS232 Card Port - tty1 00-01-0-02 RS232 Card Port .. .. ..
To display information about a specific device, you can use the -l flag. For example, to list the information on device sysplanar0, at the prompt, enter:
lscfg -l sysplanar0
The system displays a message similar to the following:
DEVICE LOCATION DESCRIPTION sysplanar0 00-00 CPU Planar
You can also use the lscfg command to display vital product data (VPD), such as part numbers, serial numbers, and engineering change levels. For some devices, the vital product data is collected automatically and added to the system configuration. For other devices, the VPD information is entered manually. An ME preceding the data signifies that the data was entered manually.
For example, to list the devices configured in your system with vital product data, at the prompt, enter:
lscfg -v
The system displays a message similar to the following:
INSTALLED RESOURCE LIST WITH VPD
The following devices are installed in your system.
sysplanar0 00-00 CPU Planar
Part Number.........342522 EC Level............254921 Serial Number.......353535
fpa0 00-00 Floating Point Processor mem0 00-0A Memory Card
EC Level............990221 . . .
See the lscfg command in the AIX Version 4.3 Commands Reference for the exact syntax.
