Displays configuration, diagnostic, and vital product data (VPD) information about the system.
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.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| -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. |
lscfg INSTALLED RESOURCE LIST+/- = 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.
