The vpdlog command

This topic provides an overview of the adapter diagnostics vpdlog command.

The vpdlog command lists all vital product data that can be collected for the adapter cards in the engine. For each adapter, the vpdlog command displays information such as:
  • Name
  • Model number
  • Size or capacity of the device
  • IBM® serial number
  • IBM field-replaceable unit (FRU) number
  • IBM part number
  • Engineering change level
  • Firmware code levels (1 to 3)
  • Network address (MAC address or World Wide Name, as appropriate)

By default, the vpdlog command writes the log to /tmp/vpdlog.txt. However, you can also run vpdlog stdout to display the log on the console or vpdlog filename to write the log to a specified file.
