lsvpd Command
Purpose
Lists the vital product data (VPD) associated with the field replaceable units (FRUs) configured on a system.
Syntax
Description
The lsvpd command collects vital product data (VPD) for field replaceable units (FRUs). It reads the appropriate device configuration object classes in the Object Data Manager (ODM) and gathers VPD and general system information. The lsvpd command can extract additional VPD by reading data structures that are specific to the platform on which it is running. Data is provided in a format that aids service personnel in monitoring device quality and performance.
Note: Output
from the lsvpd command is informational
only and subject to change as hardware definitions change. Portable
applications should not parse this data.
Flags
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| -m | Distinguishes between a FRU with global VPD and a FRU with partition private
VPD. FRUs with global VPD begin with a line in the format of *FC ********. FRUs
with partition private VPD begin with a line in the format of *FC ========. If this
flag is not specified, the output begins with a line in the format of *FC ????????.
For LPARs, this option distinguishes between FRUs associated with the overall system and FRUs
assigned to a specific partition. |
| -s serial_number | Specifies the serial number for the system. The optional serial_number parameter is obsolete and should not be used. If the serial number is entered, that value will be used in the output of the command. In some cases, lsvpd is unable to automatically determine the serial number. In these cases, the user must supply the value in order for it to be displayed in the command output. |
| -t type_model | Specifies the type model for the system. The optional type_model parameter is obsolete and should not be used. If the type model is entered, that value will be used in the output of the command. In some cases, lsvpd is unable to automatically determine the type model. In these cases, the user must supply the value in order for it to be displayed in the command output. |
| -v | Produces verbose output for debugging purposes only. |
Exit Status
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | The command completed successfully. |
| 1 | An error occurred. |
