To display the name, location, and description of each device found in the current configuration, use the lscfg command. The list is sorted by device location.
For example, to list the devices configured in your system, at the prompt, type:
lscfg
Press Enter.
The system displays output 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. Model Architecture: chrp Model Implementation: Multiple Processor, PCI bus + 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 + rs2320 00-01 RS232 Card + tty0 00-01-0-01 RS232 Card Port - tty1 00-01-0-02 RS232 Card Port .. .. ..
The device list is not sorted by device location alone. It is sorted by the parent/child hierarchy. If the parent has multiple children, the children are sorted by device location. If the children have the same device location, they are displayed in the order in which they were obtained by the software. 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, type:
lscfg -l sysplanar0
Press Enter.
The system displays output 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 VPD is collected automatically and added to the system configuration. For other devices, the VPD is entered manually. An ME preceding the data indicates that the data was entered manually.
For example, to list VPD for devices configured in your system, at the prompt, type:
lscfg -v
Press Enter.
The system displays output similar to the following:
INSTALLED RESOURCE LIST WITH VPD
The following resources are installed in your machine.
