4.2 Adapter and Device Configuration

4.3 Displaying Installed Devices

In order to display devices that are either supported or defined on your system, you can either use the lsdev command or use the SMIT fastpath as follows:

1. smitty lsattr

   A screen similar to the one shown in Figure 16 will be shown:
   
   
   
   Figure 16: List Devices SMIT Panel
   
   

2. Select List All Defined Devices. (lsdev -C command is run in the background)

3. Press Enter.

A list of all the devices that are either in the Defined or in the Available state are listed. An output similar to Figure 17 is shown:

Note

The predefined ODM database contains default characteristics for devices. These devices may not exist on the system, but have device support loaded. For example, if a tape drive was detected at the installation time, there will be a number of types of tape drives in the list, but if, on the other hand, no multiprotocol adapter was found, no such support will be added to the predefined database. Use lsdev -P command to see a list of supported devices.
