SYNOPSIS

9       lsvpd [-m | --mark] [-s<serial#> | --serial=<serial#>] [-t<type/model#>
10             | --type=<type/model#>] [-p<database-directory> |
11             --path=<database-directory>] [-z<database-archive> |
12             --zip=<database-archive>] [-h | --help]

DESCRIPTION

16       This program is part of the lsvpd package for Linux. This package is  a
17       (partial) reimplementation of AIX's lsvpd and related commands.
18
19
20        lsvpd  lists  Vital  Product  Data (VPD) for the system and its compo‐
21       nents. The output is in a machine-readable format that is often used by
22       higher-level servicability tools. This implementation is merely a pret‐
23       ty-printer for information that has been stored in lsvpd's hardware in‐
24       ventory database at boot and hot-plug time. Therefore, the vpdupdate(8)
25       command must have been executed prior to running lsvpd.

OPTIONS

29       -m|--mark
30              Use the FC field in VPD to mark it as global (********) or  par‐
31              tition-specific (========).
32
33
34       -s<serial#>|--serial=<serial#>
35              Use  <serial#>  in the system serial number field instead of at‐
36              tempting to determine a value.
37
38
39       -t<type/model#>|--type=<type/model#>
40              Use <type/model#> in the system type/model number field  instead
41              of attempting to determine a value.
42
43
44       -p<database-file>|--path=<database-file>
45              Use  <database-file>  as the hardware inventory database, rather
46              then the default directory (/var/lib/lsvpd/db).
47
48              This option is useful for producing output for previous hardware
49              inventory databases that have been replaced by the system.
50
51
52       -z<database-archive>|--zip=<database-archive>
53              Use  <database-archive>  as  the  hardware  inventory  database,
54              rather then the default directory (/var/lib/lsvpd/db).  The  ar‐
55              chive has been compressed using gzip(1).
56
57              This  option is useful for producing output for old hardware in‐
58              ventory databases that have been archived by the system.

60
61       -h|--help
62              Display a help screen and quit.
