smit -> Devices -> CD ROM DRIVE -> Change Show Charecteristics of CD-ROM Drive

CD ROM Drive cd0
CD ROM Drive type scsd
CD ROM Drive interface scsi
Description 16 Bit SCSI Multimedia CD-ROM Drive
Status Available
Location 10-88-00-1,0
Parent adapter scsi0
Connection address 1,0

Cannot think of a single command that can give you all that info except maybe:

odmget -q "name=cd0" CuDv

This command does not give me one very basic information i.e. device-type

1. odmget -q "name=cd0" CuDv

CuDv:
name = "cd0"
status = 1
chgstatus = 2
ddins = "scdisk"
location = "10-88-00-1,0"
parent = "scsi0"
connwhere = "1,0"
PdDvLn = "cdrom/scsi/scsd"

PdDvLn = "cdrom/scsi/scsd"

Format is "class/subclass/type"

So it does show you the device-type which in this case is scsd.
