LSVIO(8) LSVIO(8)

NAME

lsvio - list virtual I/O adapters and devices

SYNOPSIS

lsvio [-v | --version] [-s | --scsi] [-e | --ethernet] [-d | --devices] [-p<database-filename> | --path=<database-filename> | -z<database-archive> | --zip=<database-archive>] [-D | --debug] [-h | --help]

DESCRIPTION

This program is part of the lsvpd package for Linux. This package is a (partial) reimplementation of AIX's lsvpd and related commands.


lsvio lists virtual I/O adapters and devices. lsvio retrieves information from lsvpd's hardware inventory database. Therefore, the vpdupdate(8) command must have been executed prior to running lsvio.

OPTIONS

Prints the version of tool.

Lists names and physical locations of virtual SCSI adapters.

Lists names and physical locations of virtual Ethernet adapters.

Lists virtual SCSI devices and their associated adapters.

Use <database-filename> as the hardware inventory database, rather than the default database. Path specified must be a full path including filename. (/var/lib/lsvpd/vpd.db).

This option is useful for producing output for previous hardware inventory databases that have been replaced by the system.

Use <database-archive> as the hardware inventory database, rather than the default directory (/var/lib/lsvpd/). The archive has been compressed using gzip(1).

This option is useful for producing output for old hardware inventory databases that have been archived by the system.

Display extra information about the devices. For example, sysfs location, device-tree node etc., is displayed.

Display a help screen and quit.

FILES

/var/lib/lsvpd/vpd.db
Database file used by lsvio.

BUGS

lsvio is supported since Linux 2.6 on systems with virtual I/O. On other systems lsvio will probably exit with an error message.
