Re: What command is smit running?

Some years ago, I needed to automate multiple AIX installations, I had to search the same kind of things (commands run by smit when hitting a Function key).
I'm sorry I can't find the info again, but I know the first step for you is to look the ODM base, where the smit screens are described.
The commands you are looking after are among the ODM informations.

Sorry I don't remember the details.

Folks,

Maybe for more in-depth F4 listings, there is more info, but I don't think so.

As a test I ran smit install >  Install and Update Software > Install Software

I proceeded to use F4 to pick the cdrom from the list of "INPUT devices / directory for software"
And I followed that up with another F4 to get a list of "SOFTWARE to install".
At that point I picked a few filesets, returned to the "Install Software" page and had it "PREVIEW only".  After that I got out of smit and examined both the /smit.log and the /smit.script files.  As I expected, the data is very rich and I have used it many times, but there is no info on how it generated the two lists.  It just jumps to show the command with the choices I made from the F4.

So, just like the F6, there seems to be some limit.
 

In the early-1990's I actually created extra smit panels for my own applications.  (This was before there were good/any graphical programs or GUI panels.)  If you looked at my code, you could find what I called when the F4 key was hit.  It was usually a shell script or C program I had to write.  I don't suppose the source for this smit panel is available?

Well,that was my $0.02

smit.script and smit.log are the best files to see this information.
Thanks.

I think that if you run smit with the "-v" flag you should see the
information you want in the smit.log file.  Use "-x" as well if you just
want the commands logged without actually creating a new VG.

F6 is not a valid option in the F4 selection window.

>>> pobrien@xxxxxxxxxxx 2/21/06 3:07:36 PM >>>
When in that screen, press F6.

Subject: What command is smit running?

When I do the following:
smit lvm
Volume Groups -> Add a Volume Group with Data Path Devices
and I press F4 over the "PHYSICAL VOLUME names" option to get a list
of
available vpaths

What command does smit run at that point to generate the list of
vpaths
that are available?

thanks,
