driver, logical volume, processor)
lsdev -Cc disk

3.List all customized (existing) device classes (-P for complete list)
lsdev -C -r class

4.Remove hdisk5
rmdev -dl hdisk5

5.Get device address of hdisk1
getconf DISK DEVNAME hdisk1 or bootinfo -o hdisk1

6.Get the size (in MB) of hdisk1
getconf DISK SIZE hdisk1 or bootinfo -s hdisk1

7.Find the slot of a PCI Ethernet adapter
lsslot -c pci -l ent0

8.Find the (virtual) location of an Ethernet adapter
lscfg -l ent1

9.Find the location codes of all devices in the system
lscfg

10.List all MPIO paths for hdisk0
lspath -l hdisk0

11.Find the WWN of the fcs0 HBA adapter
lscfg -vl fcs0 | grep Network

12.Temporarily change console output to /console.out
