    I am looking for a command or utility that will list all the hardware in a Power/System p box that has micro partitions and has possibly a mixed implementation i.e some IO owned by VIOS and some dedicated. As far as I am aware (please tell me if I am wrong) using prtconf or lscfg (with relevant parameters) only shows the hardware that is assigned to the partition. I would like this information to be able to refer customer to the correct tool or command when there is requirement to rebuild the inventory files of their installed system when this info is missing. I cannot determine from InfoCenter if lshwres -m would give the information I am looking for. Any info would be much appreciated

    Are you particular about using only cli?

    In the HMC GUI, the managed system properties gives complete server info. You could use this and system planning tool to build the config.

    For a partitioned system you cannot get this information from AIX, you must use the HMC.

    If you want a command line tool for the system plans you can use the mksysplan command on the HMC:

    http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/scope/hw/index.jsp?topic=/iphcx/mksysplan.htm

    The output is an xml file that excel or newer versions of word can read.

    This is also a usefull tool for cloning managed systems for DR, etc.

    For each LPAR you could try the AIX command lscfg -vp but this will report the adapters and devices for the LPAR as well as all of the memory and processors, etc. for the whole system.

    I tried this with an original sysplan from HMC . And I noticed when I try to import this in the SPT it did not provide all system info (could not find the feature codes). I am not sure what version of Excel (2002) or Word (2002) is required but neither I have works. Also and xml viewer did not work . Anyone knows a way to read content sysplan without SPT?
