NAME

6       lscfg - list hardware configuration

SYNOPSIS

9       lscfg [-v | --verbose] [-p | --specific] [-l<name> | --list=<name>]
10             [-d<database-file> | --data=<database-file>]
11             [-z<database-archive> | --zip=<database-archive>] [-h | --help]

DESCRIPTION

15       This  program is part of the lsvpd package for Linux. This package is a
16       (partial) reimplementation of AIX's lsvpd and related commands.
17
18
19        lscfg lists hardware configuration information for the system and  its
20       components.  The output is in a human readable format. This implementa‐
21       tion is merely a pretty-printer for information that has been stored in
22       lscfg's  hardware  inventory database at boot and hot-plug time. There‐
23       fore, the vpdupdate(8) command must have been executed prior to running
24       lscfg.
25
26
27       Some  IBM  POWER systems feature dynamic VPD. lscfg will only list this
28       VPD when invoked by the root user - when invoked by another  user  this
29       VPD will be omitted but other VPD will still be listed.

OPTIONS

33       -v|--verbose
34              Show Vital Product Data (VPD) for components, where available.
35
36
37       -p|--specific
38              List  platform-specific information in a separate section, where
39              available.
40
41
42       -l<name>|--list=<name>
43              Only show configuration information for the component  with  the
44              given operating system name (i.e. the AX field in lsvpd output).
45              Note that name may include wildcards, such as * and ?  (however,
46              such wildcards should be protected from the shell).
47
48
49       -d<database-file>|--data=<database-file>
50              Use  <database-file>  as the hardware inventory database, rather
51              then the default file (/var/lib/lsvpd/db).
52
53              This option is useful for producing output for previous hardware
54              inventory databases that have been replaced by the system.
55
56
57       -z<database-archive>|--zip=<database-archive>
58              Use  <database-archive>  as  the  hardware  inventory  database,
59              rather then the default directory (/var/lib/lsvpd/db).  The  ar‐
60              chive  is  a  tar(1)  archive  that  has  been  compressed using
61              gzip(1). It must contain a single directory containing at  least
62              a file called system-id.
63
64              This  option is useful for producing output for old hardware in‐
65              ventory databases that have been archived by the system.
66
67
68       -h|--help
69              Display a help screen and quit.
