Commands Reference, Volume 3, i - m
lscfg Command
Purpose
Displays configuration, diagnostic, and vital
product data (VPD) information about the system.
Syntax
To Display Specific Data on all Systems
lscfg [ -v ] [ -p ] [ -s ] [ -l Name ]
Description
If you run the lscfg command without any flags, it
displays the name, location and description of each
device found in the current Customized VPD object
class that is a child device of the sys0 object. It
will not display any device that has been marked
missing in the Customized Device Object Class. The
list is sorted by parent, child, and device
location. Information on a specific device can be
displayed with the -l flag.
Use the lscfg command to display vital product data
(VPD) such as part numbers, serial numbers, and
engineering change levels from either the
Customized VPD object class or platform specific
areas. Not all devices contain VPD data.
VPD data that is preceded by ME signifies that the
VPD data was entered manually using a diagnostic
service aid. For some devices, the vital product
data is collected automatically from the devices
through methods and added to the Customized VPD
object class.
If you run the lscfg command with the -p flag, it
displays device information stored in the platform
specific data areas. When used with the -v flag,
VPD data stored for these devices is also
displayed. This information is obtained on a Common
Hardware Reference Platform (CHRP) system from the
open firmware device tree.
-l Name
Displays device information for the named
device.
-p
Displays the platform-specific device
information. This flag only applies to AIX
4.2.1 or later.
-v
Displays the VPD found in the Customized VPD
object class. Also, on AIX 4.2.1 or later,
displays platform specific VPD when used with
the -p flag.
-s
Displays the device description on a separate
line from the name and location.
Examples
1 To display the system configuration, enter:
lscfg
The system displays a message similar to the
following:
INSTALLED RESOURCE LIST
The following resources are installed on the
machine:
+/- = Added or deleted from Resource List.
* = Diagnostic support not available.
+ indicates the resource has been added to the Diagnostic Resource List. The resource is
added to the Diagnostic Resource list by default when the diagnostic fileset is installed. A
resource must be in the Diagnostic Resource List before diagnostics tasks can be
performed on the resource.
- indicates the resource was deleted from the Diagnostic Resource List.
The resource can be added or deleted from the Resource List by running the diag
command, and using the Task Selection menu to select either Add Resource to Resource
List, or Delete Resource from Resource List.
Diagnostic support for a resource, indicated by the + character is not necessarily
inclusive of all diagnostic tasks. Some resources are only supported with a subset of
diagnostic task, and that subset might or might not include the Run Diagnostics Task.
