Default How to check AIX config

Hi All,

I am new to AIX, and now I have a AIX machine to administrate, I would like
to ask some very basic question

lscfg

is a good command with which to start finding out about your system.
You'll be needing to use the admin tool smit anyway, so you might as
well also explore that as way of finding information.

I like "prtconf" for this task. I find its output more readable
than lscfg's, although I agree that lscfg has its uses. By the way, if
you're more familiar with other flavors of Unix, you might like the "Unix
Rosetta Stone" at http://www.bhami.com/rosetta.html - it tells you
"translations" of various tasks in different flavors of Unix.

prtconf not on mine. But at 4.3 I might be a tad out of date.

As mentioned, lscfg

and

lsdev -C is also fun.
lsattr -El <devicename> is nifty.

and so on.
