Hello,

with a simple "lscfg -vl rmt0" i get some device information.

  EINHEIT POSITION BESCHREIBUNG

  rmt0 10-60-00-1,0 SCSI-4-mm-Bandlaufwerk (20480 MB)

        Einheitenspezifikation(Z1)C209
        Seriennummer ...............2126S175
        Einheitenspezifikation(LI)A1700292
        Teilenummer ................19P0798
        FRU-Nummer .................19P0802
        Stand der techn. Änderung ..H27417
        Einheitenspezifikation(Z0)0180020283000038

odmget CuVPD | grep -p rmt0 provides this informations, too. So far so
goog but this doesn't seem work for all devices. The lscfg command is
doing fine all the time but the "odmget CuVPD..." often fails.

I'm looking for a way to determine the VPD data from the ODM for all
devices. Can someone give me a hint ??

Thanks in advance,
Bernd
