NAME

lsvpd - list Vital Product Data (VPD)

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

This program is part of the lsvpd package for Linux. This package is a (partial) reimplementation of AIX's lsvpd and related commands.


 lsvpd lists Vital Product Data (VPD) for the system and its components. The output is in a machine-readable format that is often used by higher-level servicability tools. This implementation is merely a pretty-printer for information that has been stored in lsvpd's hardware inventory database at boot and hot-plug time. Therefore, the vpdupdate(8) command must have been executed prior to running lsvpd.

OPTIONS

-m|--mark
Use the FC field in VPD to mark it as global (********) or partition-specific (========).
-s<serial#>|--serial=<serial#>
Use <serial#> in the system serial number field instead of attempting to determine a value.
-t<type/model#>|--type=<type/model#>
Use <type/model#> in the system type/model number field instead of attempting to determine a value.
-p<database-file>|--path=<database-file>
Use <database-file> as the hardware inventory database, rather then the default directory (/var/lib/lsvpd/db).

This option is useful for producing output for previous hardware inventory databases that have been replaced by the system.

-z<database-archive>|--zip=<database-archive>
Use <database-archive> as the hardware inventory database, rather then the default directory (/var/lib/lsvpd/db). The archive has been compressed using gzip(1).

This option is useful for producing output for old hardware inventory databases that have been archived by the system.

-h|--help
Display a help screen and quit.

FILES

/var/lib/lsvpd/db
Database file used by lsvpd.
